Initial stages of restoration of Hamburger SS/JA Challenger
does anyone have any recollection of a Hamburger Challenger SS/JA team car that was owned and campaigned by George Duane of N.J. I just bought the rolling chassis after it had been stored away since the early 80s . It was stripped of its engine and transmission many years ago . I am just in the initial stages of searching history and parts collecting . I have talked to George Duane regarding the car and got some interesting details . plans are to restore it as period correct . It was initially brown in color and had Duanes Sunoco on the doors , later it was painted white and blue Hamburger team colors . I am located in N.B. Canada

I would see if you can get in touch with Ed or his son (David I think).
This is their current business... https://www.hamburgerssuperchargers.com/ |

You may be familiar with this link below but just in case...
You can also try to be in touch with Tom Auger. He was a young driver for Ed when he was around 17 years old. https://www.forebodiesonly.com/forum...lengers.27199/ https://garagehotrods.com/2019/04/26...-63-dodge-330/ Last edited by Charles Stewart; 03-06-2023 at 03:40 PM. |

Try emailing Neil (Red) Goldstein at reddy.goldstein@hotmail.com. He rad a Hamburger 340 Challenger with the Hamburger colors in Stock in the late 70’s around the same time as Tom Auger.

Re: Initial stages of restoration of Hamburger SS/JA Challen
I have talked to Tom Auger before I knew who originally owned the car and he was not sure who owned it . after talking to another former hamburger team member , I was able to come up with George Duanes name . I talked to George and he told me about the car winning class at Pomona in 1978 and it apparently held some NHRA and IHRA records the same year . George also ran a different Challenger in SS/DA and SS/FA . The car I have was the SS/JA car . George raced out of Hillsborough N.J. and both his Challengers were painted with Duanes Sunoco on the doors but the SS /JA car was later painted Hamburger team colors . This car started life as a 70 Challenger T/A but was updated to appear as a 71 with the 71 taillights and grill and a shaker hood . when it raced at Pomona it was updated with a 74 grill and 74 taillight panel , it was taken back to 71 trim level later that year and sold to N.B. Canada shortly after .

Gary Reade of Fredericton N.B. was the person who bought it out of New Jersey. I believe Gary still lives in Fredericton.
