You guys wanted some Linda so here is a classic when she was in her prime!

This photo of Dick Arons was taken at the Super Stock nationals in 1968 after his repeat win. Dick won the race in 67 in SS/EA and repeated in 68 with the famous yellow convertible in SS/F.

Check out that trophy.... Those were the days!

BTW does anyone know who Linda's sidekick is?

A 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone
289 'HiPo' 271 HP,,,,Engine Code 'A'
Classed in C/S in 1965.
And with the very rare optional functional fiberglass hood.
Only 90 of these cars were built.
Not a regular car to order,,,,,,you had to go through a 'DSO'
District Special Order.

My late friend and partner on a 383 71 Dodge Challenger Gene Collins raced one in 1965 sponsored by "Dave Pyles" Mercury at various tracks such as Aquasco, Capitol, 75&80 in Md.. It was maroon with the silver stripes on the roof like most Jr. stockers of the era had. He also ran a dark green 202 sedan with the 225 HP combo in "F" Factory stock. He was a NASCAR Winternationals winner with a 271 HP Mustang with an automatic in Daytona in 1966 named "Pegasus". He prefered an automatic trans car after loosing a couple of toes in a clutch explosion racing a 1962 Corvette prior to racing the Comets. One thing I remember was he had Stahl Headers and had candy stripes painted on the long collectors exiting under the doors. They had a sound all of their own.

Paula Murphy 'Miss STP' (1970 Plymouth Duster)

Della Woods "Bernella's Funny Honey' (1970 Dodge Charger)
