That's my car. Owned by Richard Boyd in Nova Scotia at the time your pics were taken. He got it from someone in Quebec ...I posted pics of the ads Boyd bought it thru in the Canadian Old Car Trader a long time ago in this thread. This is the car we figure is Gene O'Neill's (Worcester, Massachusettes)originally. First run VIN stick car.
Boyd traded it to John Brown in Pennsylvania for a hemi cuda. From there it went to Spurlock's in TN and a couple more collectors before I got it. I still have the funny steel plate that was hanging under the trunk pan protecting the centrifical fuel pumps that were hung there @ somewhere. When you dig thru all of the layers of paint on the car you find the first coat of paint is candy tangerine. I've found this on several areas of the car.
When John Brown had it he ran it at a Chuck Smith Supercar Showdown at Quaker City Raceway Ohio. There are videos being sold of these Showdowns back then but I can't find one for the year this car was there. It did have John Brown's name on the side of the car and some dodge dealership.
