One of the downsides of not having a trailer is transportation when we get to the destination. We have a Mini Cooper with a standard transmission that makes for a great pull-behind dinghy-tow vehicle, so we decided to see if the new torque-monster couls pull it. We took a test drive to Cherry Creek State […]
The final piece of the 1965 Coronet Great Dale re-imagining is complete. The old 361 engine has been replaced with a 383 cubic inch block bored to 494 cubic inches with a custom camshaft to produce maximum torque with the available 600 hp. The oddball ’65 transmission has been replaced with a ’66 standard transmission.
We sent the dashboard to the fine folks at http://www.justdashes.com/ last winter and we should have posted the pictures then. But I couldn’t find the heater knob until recently, so here they are.
I bought this car in Denver approx 10 years ago. That was just a little before the retro RV craze started and got it for $2500. The purchase was for my friend in Southern Sweden. We shipped it and a 56 Cad House car of unknown origin at the same time. All the paper work
Look at it. Look at it!!! When we went down to Castle Rock three years ago to see the Great Dale we were going to buy, the family who was selling showed us their personal Great Dale too. It is made up of a 1960 Cadillac and a camper body which is unusual. Later on, Dale
Here she is! Almost finished too. Only waiting to get the dash back. I’ve been looking for the perfect shade of turquoise for almost a year. Found the fabric in about a month. We went to the Colorado Classic Campout at Starlite Classic Campground last weekend and saw one of the other Great Dales there.

We can see the end of the Great Dale Restoration project thanks to these fine people who helped with the interior and exterior. The Great Dale front end was completely stripped before heading off to Larry at Retro Restoration http://www.retrorestoration.com/. Larry completely re-skinned the camper part and added a hidden bathroom before spraying the final paint job. All
