Can't tell for sure but on Harold Duttons Drag Hag rear quarter it seems to say National Points Champion, Super Stock Champion or Division or something, NHRA Div II. I will have to go by and visit Harold and see what info or old photos he might have. He didn't run Mopar long. I was actually suprised when I found out he had been as he put it "talked into "one of the Cudas and actually got into some trouble with the Chrysler folk for a couple ford parts on the Cuda. It will be a 2-3 weeks before I get to see him but if I come up with anything of interest I will post it. Anyone know who now owns the Dart John Rivers bought at Van Dyke Dodge in Warren MI 7/68. I have a Van Dyke Decal that was in with some info I have on this car. If the owner wanted it, I'd. send it to him. Not sure it is a 68 version but it was with a retail Buyers Order I have on the car. |

Sam had I think 3 different Cudas all at different times. He sold the first to me, and then purchased Ed Hamberger's Duster. That didn't last long, too slow and too hard to keep running on the mark. After that I think he got Landy's Charger.Sometime around that, he bought another Cuda from Allentown Pa.. It was yellow and black,The owners were the Wheatley Bros. 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 |
