I started frequenting Union Grove around 1989 and saw Norm drag racing his immaculate Dodge regularly at Da Grove's Mopar gatherings back then. Norm would always draw a crowd while he performed super smoky burnouts in the water box!

The paperwork I received was the original invoice from Grand Spalding, a report dated 1978 from Walter Redman verifying the car as authentic, etc. I did not receive anything on the cars previous history. I have learnt more from the last couple of pages of this thread than I knew previously.
I was told the original owner, whose name appears on the invoice, was a Barrister and raced only as a hobby, hence the car remained relatively unmodified.
I would be interested to see the article if it shows up a990.
