1962 Mopar 383/343 HP 'Stocker'

[Philip Saran]

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.

I found a 1962 photo of a white Dart Model #440-door Hardtop classed in S/SA,
with 413/385 HP lettered on the front fender.

What was it with those 4-door racers back then,,,,,,,,,,

Information states that these 1962 Dart Model #440 4-door Hardtops were listed as
'Executive Cars'

Phil: Etter and Studley ran a 62 Plymouth Wagon E/SA. The Orange Crate
was a 62 Dodge F/SA with a ton of lead under that vinyl Roof. I bought it as
a roller in later 70's and never put it back together. I think it ended up at
Santa Fe Springs Ecology Center next to John Greenwood 65 Plymouth
until they were crushed!

Jimi,
I'm glad you joined the conversation.
I remember being in your shop when you first bought the Behemoth and it was still white and blue. I still love that car.
Who bought the Trick Tank from Joe Kenney?

Here's a couple shots of the 62 Dodge wagon called the 'Trick Tank'...

Anyone here know if this is Don Garlit's '62 Dodge original car or a replica of it...for some reason I'm thinking it was originally a black car from an old photo I seen years ago.

I bought this wagon in the late 70's with the intent of racing it in SS. I was too young and too broke run with the pack. But we bracket raced it for a couple of years. What a blast!! The wagon and 383/343 HP was always rarity and attention getter at any race.
