[QUOTE=Paul Ceasrine;242224]Rory,

Not sure,,,,,,,,,but his nephew has a bunch of photo's.
And it was classed in SS/BA, so it had to be before 1970.
Before the Street/Hemi Cuda 'Old Trapper'.

The "Old Trapper" name was used on various MoPar S/S cars before the 70 Street Hemi car. I remember a 67 Hemi Belvedere, as well as at least 2 SS/AA cars, all with the same yellow & brown paint with log lettering. That may have been before Dick Panter was a driver , I think the main "Old Trapper" driver at the time was Albert Brabham (sp?). I`m not sure if car owner Jim Ronnigan(sp?) ever drove any of the cars. As far as I know, the "Old Trapper" 70 Cuda SS/DA-EA is still owned by Rod Hanner of Alberta, and still has "Trapmate" lettered on the sides.
