I'd seen the production numbers so that's why I posted.

Do you happen to have anymore old photo's of some more wing cars and convertibles doing battle, there were also a few clones out there back in the day.

Here's what Jack Werst's 70 Hemi Superbird looked like after he sold it to Ken Jenning's, it has also changed hands a few more times since then, a real time capsule!

Was this the same year that Richard Petty got caught with a big motor???

I had heard the story at York, Pa. about 4 or 5 years ago. Then read a magazine article maybe 3 years ago on the same car.

Did the Jack Werst car get its 'final preperation' at Knopf Plymouth
in Philadelphia,,,,,,,,before Indy 1970.

Didn't Knopf Plymouth have a secret 'skunkworks program' going on
back then,,,,,,,,

The article on the Super Bird was published in Mopar Action a couple of years back. It states that Chrysler figured the Chevelle was a cheater car, so they just built the cheater 'Bird to take it out ....

That was way back when Chrysler really had a racing program.

They need to get some of 70s racers to tell them how to get cars into more than just two classes in Stock. They sure dont seem to want to listen to me.

Not your Dad's racing program any more... Too bad, because the could do it without spending very much money, and they could get a lot more press....

Thanks for all of the information guys, trips down memory lane are a fun walk..

Here's the "Thorn In Mopars Guys Side", does anyone here know how many races Ray Allen won during the time he raced this Chevelle SS convertible.

I wonder how many races these two had together, Dick Landy vs Ray Allen, and did they go hunting for each other. This was Dick Landy's 70 Hemi Charger R/T.
