This car was originally a "doner" car for an altered WB car built at Branster's shop for Roger Lindamood. The car was originally "given" to Ron Mancini as a body in white roller. Ron didn't do anything with it, he was building his 68 Dart and Hoover decided I could put it to good use. I got the car with a crashed 65 4 door car for $300 from Ron.
I put the car together with all my own stuff. Don't get me wrong, Allot of good people at Chrysler helped me learn real fast what I needed to know to screw a competitive car together and have a shot. I am forever great full for everyone that helped and the great friendships that have endured.
Hope this helps, I don't blog much but when I ran across this "description" I had to try and set it straight.

So do you own this car now, if so how long have you had it...tell us more about the Dick Branster connection or the Mancini's, do you have any good stories from back then that you might recall.
