[QUOTE=Paul Ceasrine;242224]Rory,

Not sure,,,,,,,,,but his nephew has a bunch of photo's.
And it was classed in SS/BA, so it had to be before 1970.
Before the Street/Hemi Cuda 'Old Trapper'.

The "Old Trapper" name was used on various MoPar S/S cars before the 70 Street Hemi car. I remember a 67 Hemi Belvedere, as well as at least 2 SS/AA cars, all with the same yellow & brown paint with log lettering. That may have been before Dick Panter was a driver , I think the main "Old Trapper" driver at the time was Albert Brabham (sp?). I`m not sure if car owner Jim Ronnigan(sp?) ever drove any of the cars. As far as I know, the "Old Trapper" 70 Cuda SS/DA-EA is still owned by Rod Hanner of Alberta, and still has "Trapmate" lettered on the sides.

That Cuda and Belvedere were owned by Wiley Cossey.
Sponsored by 'California Hooker Headers'

That may have been the second paint jobs.

Those photo's of Charlie Castaldo's car are popping up all over.

For the 'hemi hunters'
Charlie's first car (the SS/B 4-speed) was terminated at Englishtown
in late-April 1969, at a NED1 points meet.

For lettering purposes to distinguish the car, the first car had 'Dodge'
lettered on the 'C' pillar panel.

The first car had Charlie Castaldo in block staggered lettering on the door panel.
The second car had Chargin Charlie Castaldo in script lettering on the door panel.
Lettering by Dino,,,,,,,and done in Charlies garage in Scarsdale, NY.

Yeah, sure seems that way, Paul! Even in this pic (in case you haven't noticed).

I have a picture of Dick Panter's Hemi Dart somewhere. If I can find it I'll post it. Prior to seeing this photo, I just thought he had the RO23 Belvdere and 1970 Hemi 'Cuda.

Speaking of Hemi Barracudas, how's this for a rare shot? First time I've seen Archambault's car as a S/S and with a different paint job!

M68,

Charlie's car hiding behind Ed Miller's car.
Yep, the first one,,,,,,,,that must be a summer 68' photo.
I wonder if that was at New York National August 68'.

On Dick Panter, there is a photo on another site.
try,,,,,,,,,Dick Panter, Hemi Dart, Saskatoon.

Never saw that Check Mate car,,,,,,,looks like 1970 and later photo.
Who and where did he get that car from????????

Oh, Diego

Wiley Cossey was also sponsored by Casler Racing Tires.

Yep, his Modified Eliminator car I remember. I wonder if it's the same 'Cuda as shown on last page?
