Hi guys...I have a bit of info on the Chinook Chrysler Dart, the dealership owned it till at least 1971, at that time the dealership had changed hands and racing was not in managements plans. The Dart was put up for sale minus the glass hood(stolen) and the drivers side door glass was a normal thick one(car broken into) I beleive the asking price started out at $3100,but no takers, I offered the $1000 cash and my 69 hemi RoadRunner but the sales manager didn`t want another hemi to worry about. Mike Bullis of Calgary ended up paying $2600 for the car and only owned it briefly selling it when the very tired motor spun a bearing, I think Lee Brothers from Red Deer Alberta got it next but not sure,they never raced it if they did have it. Next up would be Jim Ronahan of Edmonton, he and Albert Branham raced the car also Dick Panter drove the car as Old Trapper before buying it.
