Actually, Walt never owned my car and it never sat in his yard. Boy that's a good one! Walt was a mentor of mine in those days at Chrysler. I spent allot of time "picking his brain" he is a great guy and was always willing to share the info I was looking for.
This car was originally a "doner" car for an altered WB car built at Bransteaders shop for Roger Lindamood. The car was originally "given" to Ron Mancini as a body in white roller. Ron didn't do anything with it, he was building his 68 Dart and Hoover decided I could put it to good use. I got the car with a crashed 65 4 door car for $300 from Ron.
I put the car together with all my own stuff. Don't get me wrong, Allot of good people at Chrysler helped me learn real fast what I needed to know to screw a competitive car together and have a shot. I am forever great full for everyone that helped and the great friendships that have endured.
Hope this helps, I don't blog much but when I ran across this "description" I had to try and set it stright.
