Good to hear from you again, I thought you might have lost interest in the car. Good to know that you still have it.



Mike is correct, the car originally was called "Shaker II" after our first race car which was a Plymouth called "Shaker". The lettering in the picture is hand-cut vinyl traced from the original artwork on the Plymouth. We started racing the Dodge in stock paint and color for half a season then over the winter we took it apart and brought it up to snuff with some minor bodywork and stripped it for painting. You might recall that it was pearl with a blue top when we sold it to the Moreheads. When we had it it was a 383 inch engine of 343 hp with dual four barrel carburetors. I'm not sure what it has now or if it even has an engine, perhaps you can update me with regard to the driveline. What are your plans for the car? Any pictures of it as it sits today?



Bob"

Did you buy the car from the moreheads?

Question? Did the Orange Crate S/W shown on page 13 become the car raced by
Al Etter/Don Studley? Possibley Joe Schweigert or Chuck Norton know the answer?

I do know when they sold their S/W it went to live in Florida, but that was back in the
80's.

Jimi,

You tricked me up,,,,,,,,,

Though 'Shaker' was the name Dave Kempton used on his 62' Plymouth
'Sport Fury',,,that he ran through 1967.

Did they buy his 383/343 HP Plymouth 'Sport Fury' car, and run it 1968
in (D/SA) or 1969 in (E/SA) before switching the Dodge Model #440
Station Wagon.
