My story :
In 65 I had a good paying job at L.O.F. Glass Co.
I called Dodge & asked how I could get a new car. They said we will send you the paper work & you have to ordered it from a local dealer.
I went to "Glass City Dodge" with a offer to have them help me with the car If I payed for it.
It was on a Friday night I meet with the owner in his ofice, I'll never forget that it was a Friday night as you will see in the rest of the story.
He said lets fill out the papers and come back tomorrow moring & I ll sign a deal with you.
So as I drove up to the dealership at 9:00 am Saturday the place was covered with cops.
As I walked up & tryed to get in I was told that the owner had "SHOT" himself last night.
When I told the cops my story of being with him around 7:;30 last nighht they asked me ?
for a long time.
I still have the form I got from Dodge some place in our papers.

The car is apparently ruby red. It is the same car you see with the lab Technicians standing beside tinkering with the engine. The prototype car prior to being modified, sans single headlight and interior.
Looking at the wheel arches on the color photo from Jim Schilds book the interior is to be Tan, but interestingly the upper door frames are painted red. This would surely narrow down the search.
17 red cars, 2 with red interior. At a guess it would be the first red car released, early January.

I was doing a search & came across our car so I thought I would post some pics from this past summer.
The car was known as Thunder II until June of 67 & originally campaigned by Jim Almeter of Attica, New York than was sold to Jerry Vaneck in Toronto, painted red & called the 1/4 Mile Hustler.
Its more famous as that car than it ever was any other name during it's racing days. Hap Gooder has owned it since 1973, he raced it a short time but ended up putting it in the garage & forgetting about it until he got the bug again! It was a 16 year restoration which included rear frame rails, 1 door skin & etc, etc, car was finished July 2008 just in time for the All Hemi Reunion in Salem Ohio. We love going to the strip & shows to tell the stories the car has accumulated thru it's history. The pics show the original Ramchargers posing with the car as well as Diane Sox & Buddy Martin who gave us their award at the All Chrysler Nationals. We also displayed the car during the Ramchargers Clinic this past summer.
I don't need to say what an honor it is to be associated with such an historical car & terrific crew, thanks to Hap Gooder, Jason Albano, & Al Murphy, Brothers Always!
Cheers & Merry Xmas
Don Miller
Crew Chief
Thunder II
