Steel City Missile

[Randy Loge]

Wes,
I talked to my dad today about the missile. He knows who has it now, it is still on the West Coast. We raced it for many years and have loads of pictures. It was in the Mopar Performance Parts catalog as the California Missile. When we stripped it down to paint we could see remnants of the original hamburger paint scheme, blue and white. Loved the car, it was good to us and my Mom still hasn't forgiven him for selling it. lol, If you want any info, just call my dad, Mike Loge 925 584-8402.

Sort of off topic, but this thread got me wondering what happened to Bob Lambeck's black Duster? There was an article in Hot Rod or Camaro Craft magazine and it showed the build up. They claimed to use the factory oversize cast pistons. Stock was pretty close to stock back then.

James, I don't know if Bob Lambecks black 1974 Duster got repainted to be
either his Yellow or Red Dusters? I do know that both of those got sold to a
gentleman in New York State in the late 80's or early 90's.

As for the 1973 yellow California Missile, there was one or two owners between
Chad Langdon and myself. I bought it from Mike Rice of Long Beach CA after
he bought the Steve Hahn 1979 360 Volare and painted it Red and later it went
to Mike Loge and Chad Loge had some great success with it.

I appreciate the picture and information from those who responded. These old race cars have had an interesting history of moving from one side of the country to the other with various owners. Some get lost in the shuffle and some are found and resurrected. I'm glad there are those out there that have some first hand knowledge of these old cars. Thanks again, Phil.

As an update, I talked to Steve Ekstrand (Tim's son) awhile back and he said that
the black 1974 360 Duster was sold and the next two dusters (one yellow and one
red) were built by them. He said the yellow duster was built in something like a
two weeks time frame.
