Because whoever had it, got a brand new car from the factory.
The article stated it was only 3 weeks old.
That car was an automatic. The second car was a 4-speed.
Why does 'Knopf Plymouth' stick in my mind??
M68,
Damn near every right side (passenger side) shock tower of those cars
looks different. Too many different 'Ball-Peen' hammers.
R/T,
I could get in trouble. On the BO-29 Cuda's serial #'s.
#126 went to Wilkes Motor Sales, Zainesville, Ohio
#127 went to Myl Chrysler-Plymouth, Coraoplis, Pennsylvania
As far as I know, both of these cars were delivered to the dealers.
Tom Myl raced his for a short time.
Wilkes sold their car to Arlon Vanke, his second Cuda car.

In late 1975, Montgomery located Jack Werst’s old “Mr. 5 & 50” Belvedere in Allentown, Pennsylvania. “We updated that car, and used it in the summer of 1976. We won Maple Grove Dragway’s ‘Super Stock Spectacular’ race in August, beating George Cureton in the final. It was one of the largest independent events of the time, and after winning it we figured we were ready for Indy.” At Indianapolis, though, disaster struck. “I was turning off the return road and was hit by Dean Nicopolis, another Hemi racer. He didn’t see me, and hit me pretty hard. It rolled the car over, and tore it up pretty good. The car’s racing days were over, but I still have it. In fact, it‘s for sale, and it has all the right numbers and documentation that any collector would want.”
