No, that was a Tritak & Morgan prepared 1970 Hemi 'cuda.

I remember following the build and racing of this 69 RR in
S/S magazine when I was in the service and the few years
after that they still did articles on the car.

In those days a bar wasn't even allowed. We fought a bar and won,(because we had the convertible) but still couldn't have the solid bar going forward. The swing out bar was a necessity not an option.

Somewhere my dad has a picture of him and Don Bowles removing the roll bar from Don's car at a National Event at the insistance of NHRA that the rollbar was illegal.....All in the name of safety!

I was fortunate to get to know one of the previous (and original) owners, Ted Struse. He had this car in Colorado for many years. Ted asked me to drive it @ Bandimere speedway many years ago and considering the history of the car this was an honor. Ted is a real class act and last I heard he is still in the Denver area. Sadly Ted is fighting Parkinson's disease. Please keep Ted in your thoughts and prayers. He is a dedicated Mopar Stock Eliminator enthuisast and a great writer. He writes for many magazines. He even got me on the cover of the December 1986 SuperStock & Drag illustrated magazine.
Great car with tons of history, it should bring big bucks$$$.
