He ran SS/AA Around that time had my hands full with work and my car, lost connection with Sam. Pictured car could be #3 or #2 repainted. Sorry not known who purchesed any of these from Sam.
Sam relocated from Md., and havent seen him in a few years.
I know a close frend of his, will aks him if he can get any history
I may wrong about Duster, Charger it may have been the outher way around.
All this took place some 40 years ago, so it's the best I can remember, facts may be off a little.
One thing for sure Sam Pannuty was a first class act. His equiptment took second to none when it came to looks during those years

I went to Capitol and was there almost every weekend from 75 to 79. So I saw Sam in that car making a lot of passes.

And I saw a lot of cars with Mr. Arnew's name on the fender...

Here's the story on this Cuda - Sam traded for the Cuda according to this. http://www.moparmusclemagazine.com/m...ger/index.html

Sam won S/S eliminator the first day he showed up at Aquasco with it. I believe it was the day after he got back from picking it up from Dick Landy.
