Chuck and Tony,
Thanks for the CORRECT information. I guess that forty years has destroyed more of my brain cells than I realized.
"Paul" Rossi was the guy with the wheelstanding 440 Challenger, wasn't he? Time has done bad things to my so-called mental proceses...
Before they got around to banning the Hydra-Matics, I had sold my interest in that car to my partner, Harry Sparks, who in turn sold the whole thing to some guy who wanted to restore it, I believe.
Harry still races a Division V Stocker, today (a Chevy 305 station wagon in something like N/SA, I think.)
I thought those '58 Chevy 3-speeds were 2.54:1 first gear trannies... See how my mind works (NOT!) LOL!
Bill
