Vinnie Maida and I bought that car from Landy in 72 (I think) That was to be my first NHRA car. We were going to run it in C/Gas with a clutchflite and a "prostock" Hemi. And some street racing. We rented an open trailer. Towed to California from Brooklyn to pick it up with a slant six plymouth fury. I even got a bank loan for that car, Landy had to put a number on the car to satisfy the bank.
I never got that car finished.
I teamed up with Tex (Ray) on the 71 Charger, and the rest is history.
