Dick Panter ran the car one year for Cam ...and didnt buy the car...he also didnt own the High roller car as far as i heard. Cams car the demented car...also ran at the '68 winternat's where he was told to slow down...as he was running close to the times of the chrysler sponsered cars....he did...and when he got back to edmonton wa-la there was chrylser sponsership money....he also told me to try and keep the engines together...they were constantly finding wrecked cars to pilfer engines from...one car that i tried to buy later on was a 69 hemi daytona that had been rolled in central alberta...he said he sat in that car in 69 ...with the roof bent down ...and the wing busted off...and heard it run...but couldnt bring himself to pay the $2500 bucks the guy wanted for it. ah those were the days

Wow, all this time I thought Mr. Panter had bought the old Chinook Dart.
Could be another memory oopsie on my part on the window, but I thought that it was broken while the Dart was sitting on it`s trailer at the back fence at Chinook Chrysler after they quit racing it. I do know that is when the hood went missing.
Also, don`t know if you are aware that the rolled Daytona hemi car was bought by a fellow from Calgary and restoration started, this happened quite a while ago and the car may be finished now...but looking in the background of the pic of your car...I guess you probably already know. Very cool pics...thanks
