No, I sold the car sometime in 1973, I heard that Ron Cheshier owned it for a while and lost track of it. If anyone knows where it is, let me know. It was a very original A990 when I ran it. I never evan tied the subframes together and it did start to "bend" as they would.
Ron Mancini worked in the trans lab back then and I was the new kid in the Dyno Lab (next building over) 1967. I found Ron and used to sneek awy from my lab and we would bench race allot. All I wanted to do back then was DRAGRACE, anything at all, it was a true passion. I'm sure I drove everyone nuts. I literally almost lost my job at Chrysler because of all the time off for racing. I would go to allmost every test day at Detroit dragway or Milan when the Racegroup would rent the track. Yea, I had the Dream Job, everything just kinda fell into place. Early on I had a 440 maxwedge Plymouth that I would take to the test days and make about 50 or so runs in a day. Got a lot of practice with the 4spd.
Oh well, great fun! Thanks for the intrest.
