Appears to be the car formerly raced around my area by Callahan and Sulc.

They won Stock at the first Gatornationals with it...1970 I think it was...

Frank Iaconio drove it for a while and even tried it with a stick.....a 3 speed was the only trans that was legal....It did not work too well with the 3 speed....

Just To Name A Few Who Won With This Combination;

First Off

Dave Kempton, 1962 Sport Fury 383/343 HP

1966
* C/SA,,,,,,,,,,,,Ties National Record,,(12.97) (August 1966)
* C/SA,,,,,,,,,,,,Class Winner (Indy Nationals)
* Junior Stock Eliminator Champion (Indy Nationals)

1967
* SS/EA,,,,,,,,Class Winner (Winternationals)

1968
* C/SA,,,,,,,,,Class Winner (Winternationals) (w/1962 Belvedere 383/343 HP)

Great article about Dave Kempton and the 62' Dodge "SHAKER" car in High Performance Cars Magazine (I believe it was April 1967)

Note:
Don't be confused, Dave Kempton ran the 62' Sport Fury with a 361/305 HP combination from 1963 thru 1965 (in C/SA Class), and also ran
that combination at the 66' Winternationals (but in the new D/SA class)

He won D/SA Class at the 1966 Winternationals with a 13.52 @ 102.73 MPH.

For the rest of 1966 (Springnationals and Indy Nationals) he ran the
383/343 combination in C/SA.

Darrell Davis, Div. 2 Tech Director and more recently Chrysler exec, ran a 383/343 wagon in the late sixties that was really fast. He could run far under the record, at will.

We've toyed with idea of running one in SS. With an intake and some heads.....
