Regarding Isherwood's car, you are correct that a 2nd car was involved but both the '66 and '67 were orig Hemi cars.

Ever here of John Cooper. Installed roll bar?? Roll bars weren't mandated till 69 or 70 I believe for A/MP. No roll bar required for Super Stock B then. Too bad, no pic huh??

Daryl,

Though it wasn't required,

Several Racers installed a Lakewood 3-Point 'Bolt-In' Roll-Bar in the A-Body Hemi cars in 1968 and 1969.

It was an inexpensive piece of safety equipment, and they didn't
weight all that much, only about 45 lbs.
