Challenger Drag Pak Owners

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

No thats correct, but it IS "Drag Pak Spec" in as much as its only difference is well...he had to do a hell of a lot more work and research.

Thats why I was going to list it as "Other" since it dosent have a DP # but its still pretty much a DP, in my opinion, others may not think that way, but the Other category is the only place I can really put it since its not numbered. We originally were going to buy a second DP, but now, I think well take his route....we already have a Numbered car....for all that matters, but the goal for us wasnt something to mothball as a collector item it was something to run flat out.....we like the Dodges....

Having talked with Doug, and I need to again, he is super friendly, knowledgable and helpful fellow that took the hard road on these, doing things from bad photos, etc. Tom end up with a car that is MORE than Competitive, its something to fear. He took time to talk with me and give me and share much info with me that I wouldnt have gotten elsewhere. I like that, there are very few things I will keep seceret, I give 10 of my 11 Herbs and spices away, only 1 (whatever makes me competitive) will I keep to myself. Some people I have met keep everything to themselves, and thats 100% fine, I understand completley. But the fact that Doug shared on his own accord the info he did impresses me that much more.

He is a GREAT resource for Other DP Builders and Owners.....

Like I said, because of that press and ink , I can quite possibly see his car being worth as much as a real DP in the Future, and depending on his campaigning of the car, possibly more. Even though I dont and couldnt imagine he thought of the car as collectible, he just wanted one and rather than wait, he took it up on his own.....

I believe his was the FIRST new Challenger in competition, had some nice ink in Mopar mags, National Dragster, and for his efforts his dealership was dropped by Chrysler...
