Good Job Mike McCandless with the Wagon

Mike McCandless · 03-23-2009, 08:14 PM

A lot of rust fell off that car on saturday/sunday, from the driver!! To say there was a thrash on that car friday was an understatement. The main thing was I had fun. That is all I care about these days. People are taking racing too serious. I want it to be fun. That wagon is a blast to drive. I'm looking forward to knocking some more rust off and learning the wagon.

I couldn't lose to hillary, I've known her for 20 years! My 13 and 9 year old nephew would never let me live down losing to a girl haha. Although, I think the next set of heads from Tim will be expensive haha. I just got lucky this weekend.

Bocephus is one cool ride, only one thing could make it cooler, when's the hemi going in?

Actually Lee Smith drove one of these in 66 with a Hemi and a 4 speed in Super Stock. Then he went to C/MP in the late 60's. We are thinking for of a J/SA combo with a 383.

Mike or Herb,
How about posting a picture of the Wagon?
Love old MOPAR WAGONS.

Another MOPAR wagon that is pretty cool is in Div.4, a 70 PLYMOUTH 383 owned by John Pelon.
He's only been out once or twice with this new car but it looks great, K/SA.

He calls it "The Two Ton Mater"!
