ETA,

In 1968 Dick Landy ran his 1968 'Hemi Charger' in A/MP. His main competition for
the A/MP 'National Record' was this East Coast Camaro (below).

I think the A/MP Class Record was 11.01 at the beginning of 1968.

* Dick Landy's 'first' 1968 Hemi Charger (received in September 1967) was 'not' an original Charger R/T Hemi.
* It was an original 'non' R/T with a Hemi and 4-Speed, and the only one ever built by Dodge.
* The Charger was 'chemically engineered' (acid-dipped) and had a fiberglass-nose installed.
* This removed approximately #350 lbs. off of the #3757 lb. Charger.
* The Hemi Charger was specifically built for the 1968 NHRA Winternationals A/MP Class.

In December 1967, Dick Landy landed another 1968 Charger R/T 4-Speed which 'was' a 'Hemi Charger', and
that car was built for the AHRA 'SS/E' Super Stock/Eliminator Class.
