Hi Jerry. I was down at Steve Koppien's shop the other evening and we looked at that car on the web. Lots of Division 5 history around that car and that time frame..the height of the great 'Chevy vs. MoPar' War in Division 5. Judy was always a killer driver and Dennis Mauer was well ahead of his time as tuner and engine builder. Dennis' personal 65 Dodge SS/CA car was a killer as well.
I watched her and John Lingenfelter (in his green SS/NA 'smog motor' Corvette) stage at Brainerd and told cousin DB in my best Dylan singing voice: "...and the times, they are a-changin' ".
Stay warm. -Al
