I know that but they are putting RO scoops on sedans that never came with scoops so why can't I do the same...put a scoop on a car that wasn't manufactured with one? Looks like the same situation to me.

Bad enough it's the wrong body style, 1966 nothing MOPAR made from the factory came with a scoop NOTHING!!! Jim does NHRA know this? Didn't they just take scoops off of the camaro that did not come from the factory.

Correct, Frank. For moment I was thinking Jere Stahl's '66 Plymouth championship car had a scoop,, but I googled some photos, and they all showed NO hood scoop! Dang! Its tough getting old,, I suffer from CRS syndrome!!

This green Dodge - and the driver - look very familiar. I recall seeing and speaking with him in early 1967 or '68 at Orange Drag Strip in Orange, Mass., the car had "Great Road Dodge" written on the sides that day. Had open headers as I recall. Great Road Dodge was in Maynard, MA, just west of Boston, very likely it's the same car. Too bad it is half-way across the country now, as the Orange Drag Strip Reunion is this Saturday.


This is my first post, but I've been going to New England-area drags since 1964, memory still pretty good. Thanks!

Bernie, you are exactly right. My good friend and original owner Fred Gould ordered that car the first day you could in Nov. 65. He was a salesman for DEC computers so he would tape or shoe polish Great Road Dodge (where he helped on weekends) as he needed to go to work in it during the week. He still lives in Mass. and came down as my guest for the Belle Rose Hemi Shootout.


Unfortunately the car is in the rain here at Kirkwood. We opted out of the practice rally today as Friday St. Louis traffic and bigtime rain and flooding. We start again in the morning. FYI Great Race.com

Car made it with flying colors. 2600 miles and 117 degree heat thru the desert. No problems. We had a lots of fans and met lots of new friends. Already registered for next year.
