Default Re: Original hemi dart information

No, this is Craig. Trenda sold a hemi cuda to their service manager. It came in with the primered body and the gel coated clip. One of the owens corning door windows was broke and it took forever to get a replacement. It was purchased by Steve Selfeit (sp ?) and raced locally for a short time and then he got a job in Illinois for chevrolet. I talked to him about 10 years ago and he said that he raced it in the UDRA, but he did not cut the car up to be competitive. He sold the car back in the 70s. He is a friend of Wes Rydell and he was a big junior stock racer in the 60s along with a 66 belvidere I, post, automatic, SS/BA car that ran hard. I remember that his personal car was a 67 RT, maroon with a black vinyl top and interior with cragers. He really woke up the plymouth program at Trendas with his knowledge of what the street crowd wanted and what plymouth had available on the order forms.Later, he was a warrenty rep for chevrolet and one of his dealers was Fred Gibb Chevrolet in La Harpe, IL, the home of the ZL1 camaro.
