F
resh off the plane trip back from
Chryslers at Carlisle, I think I’m
finally able to answer a question that
so many have been asking. “Did the
Mopar hobby reach a peak ten-years-ago,
and are all of us Mopar enthusiasts just rid-
ing off into the sunset, or is there still
growth to come?”
Over the past twenty-eight-years,
Chryslers at Carlisle has established itself
as the world’s premier Mopar happening. If
we’re going to take that as fact, then we
E.T. PhONE hOME!
Several months ago, we report-
ed that Raceway Park in Eng-
lishtown, New Jersey, home of
the Mopars at Englishtown, was
sold to Co-Parts and all racing
would cease. While at Carlisle,
news broke that the deal had
fallen through, and the track
was looking to rekindle the
once legendary Mopar event!
Plans are being talked about
now for sometime in 2019.
also have to take as fact that as Carlisle
goes, so does the hobby. MCG rolled into
the Carlisle fairgrounds Wednesday to
begin setting up our three booths. The
process usually takes well into Thursday
afternoon to get everything in place for the
official start of the show Friday morning.
The sales girls get in Thursday afternoon,
and they usually open our front “food court
booth” that afternoon for early shoppers.
This year, when we rolled into the fair-
grounds Thursday morning, there was
already a lot of activity. Usually, it’s just
parts buyers that come in early to snap up
the rare parts from the swap meet, but this
year, there were a good number of show car
guys on the field. Before we could even get
set up, we got pinned down at the booth
selling subscriptions. That didn’t let up,
and by the end of the day, we had done four
times our usual sales for the set-up day!
The weekend would continue that way,
posting a record car count of 2,756 vehi-
cles, until an unexpected rainstorm Sunday
morning cut the festivities and sales short.
Now, first off, don’t mistake a record car
count for record sales. After visiting with
many of the venders, I got mixed reviews.
Some reported all-time highs, and others
not so much. With that said, I think it’s still
safe to say that Carlisle remains the biggest
sales weekend for Mopar venders, and this
year’s record car count proved there is no
waning in the interest for Mopar cars and
trucks.
While many that have been in the
Mopar hobby for a long time view it in
decline, I think a more accurate analysis
would be that it is in flux. While there are
still older original Mopars being built,
there’s been a noted shift from concours
show cars to drivers, as of late. New Gen
III Hemis with overdrive transmissions are
replacing traditional sixties and seventies
powerplants more and more. Add to that,
many Mopar enthusiasts are opting for the
convenience of modern muscle cars, like
Hellcats and Demons, and to maintain a
handle on the market, businesses have to
make sure their wares change with the ever-
changing Mopar marketplace. Unlike in
the Ford and Chevy world, we Mopar
enthusiasts didn’t have new rear-wheel-
drive performance cars pumped out by the
factory over the last four decades. Because
of that, our hobby evolved quite differently
than theirs did. An extreme example comes
from the big detailing guy at Carlisle, who
told me that, traditionally, the Corvette
show is his biggest weekend because “All
those guys do is wax their cars!” As more
NOT SO PAINLESS STAINLESS…
With Donald Trump’s agenda to
make America great again, the
United States finds itself work-
ing its way through negotia-
tions, that at least for the short
term, could spike the price on
some Mopar parts. Tom, at
Accurate Exhaust, tells me he
gets his stainless for exhaust
systems from a Canadian fac-
tory because they’re one of the
few that offers virgin steel, giv-
ing him less failure during
bending and crimping. The
problem is, with the new tariffs,
he is expecting a 50% increase
in material cost. Price increas-
es could also be in store for
other steel parts being made
abroad. The only way to beat
this inflation for the short run
is to buy existing inventory of
any steel Mopar part you know
is coming from Canada or
China!
and more new Mopars come into the mix,
and more and more cars are driven and not
restored, businesses will need to adapt to
different trends to thrive.
Shows also will need to adapt to
grow. The days of patrons paying to sit in
a lawn chair with their car are over. This
year, both the Norwalk and Gateway Mopar
race events are getting proactive and offer-
ing Hellcat and Demon-specific races.
Norwalk is running what’s called “The
 Trending at Carlisle
When it came to old Mopars at
Carlisle this year, I noticed a big
influx in F-bodies at the show. I
look for these still affordable
hot rods to come on strong
over the next several years .
Hateful Eight,” where they pit the fastest
eight Hellcats against each other for a no-
holds-barred battle to a champion. Gateway
is hosting what they call “The Hellcat and
Demon Nationals.” Hmmm… add Vegas to
the mix, and might we see an MCG
Hellcat/Demon points series next year?
Who knows? But, what’s for certain is that
next year, MCG will host a first-of-its-kind
rolling car show called “The Road Rage
Rally,” which is poised to change the way
people look at a car shows forever.
So, to answer that question of,
“Where’s the Mopar hobby headed?” I say
this year’s Carlisle proves the answer to that
is full speed ahead. With that said, it’s
going to take more than just the same old,
same old, to capture the attention of sea-
soned Mopar aficionados. More than just
the same old thing to thrive in the parts and
restoration business, and more than the
same old thing to get anyone’s attention
with a Mopar build, OEM resto, or modified
car. As the Mopar hobby approaches fifty
years of seen-that, done-that, the bar to hold
enthusiast attention is quite high. Here at
MCG, we live for the challenges of catering
to those who think they’ve seen it all. As
illustrated by this issue! Until next month,
Mopar to ya! X

hERE, kITTy, kITTy…

The Mopar race events are heavily courting guys like Dan Van Horn from the modern Hemi Shootout
Racing Series, to expand their racing fields. Enthusiasm for modern Mopar racing is high and I’m
told racer Rob Wood is coming to St. Louis to the Hellcat and Demon Nationals, all the way from
Arizona, to defend his win at the MATS show in Las Vegas, earlier this year.
 y
ou want real Americana, Mopar
family history and something
cool at a bargain basement price?
Well, here it is, and it’s from the
Schwarzli family in Canada. Josef
Schwarzli started the Machine-O-Matic
company in 1963 to manufacture preci-
sion metal components, and that same
year, founded the world-famous Beaver
Machine Corporation; the world’s lead-
ing maker of gumball machines and the
company that rewrote the book on how
these things are made. Their machines
are now exported to 120 countries
around the world, and despite being the
foremost company on the planet for
gumball machines, it’s still a family-
run business, and that family happens
to be infatuated with old Mopars!
We recently had the good for-
tune to meet Bernie Schwarzli, who
now runs the company, and his thirty-
three-year-old son, Robert, who’s head
of product planning. Bernie bought his
first Barracuda at sixteen, he’s been to
every Mopar Nats since 1983, and
between himself and Robert, they cur-
rently have fifteen old Mopars in the
garage (not counting their fleet of Ram
trucks and their own personal “regular”
modern transportation). At thirty-three,
Robert’s on the young end of the hobby,
but he’s enamored with it, which was
very refreshing to see with his genera-
tion! All of which leads us to what you
see here, Beaver Machine’s new line of
Mopar-themed machines for every
well-stocked garage or man cave. This
has been more than a decade in the
planning, but only recently did all the
stars align and Chrysler granted them
permission to make these heavyweight
sugar dispensers.
Bernie and Robert informed us
they’re going to roll these out at the
2018 Mopar Nats, and they’ll be avail-
able either on the web or wherever they
have a vendor booth, but they hope to
get a network of Mopar vendors out
there to sell these so they can be more
readily available. There are eight initial
flavors, but they tell us they plan to
make more. At present, you have a
Duster machine, an R/T machine, a
Super Bee machine, a Demon one, an
SRT Hellcat version, and a Ram truck

B-bodies; namely, that plastic speaker grill
that’s located right smack dab in the mid-
dle of the dash, directly under the wind-
shield where it would be exposed to the
most heat and the utmost UV light. As
much as we like those earlier B-bodies,
that just wasn’t a really well thought-out
design feature. The originals are generally
cracked to pieces, badly chipped up,
warped in all directions, or more often than
not, missing altogether and they’re
ues to produce new reproduction parts
almost on a weekly basis.
What you have here are exact
reproductions of the 1962 and 1963 Dodge
and Plymouth B-body dash speaker grills,
and although you’re probably tired of hear-
ing us say this, yet again, it’s a part we
never thought we’d see back in production.

truck machine, which pays homage to the
power wagons and what we older folk tend to
think of as the original Rams. Being fanatics,
the guys color-matched original Chrysler paint
for these, and they precision duplicated origi-
nal logos and stripes, so this wasn’t just a case
of slapping a sticker on an existing product.
Each is an authentic Chrysler color, and the
graphics were copied directly from the real
vehicles. And let us tell you, these guys are
passionate about their cars, and their gumball
machines! So, if you want something to com-
pliment your garage or man cave, and support
two of the most hardcore Mopar guys we’ve
spoken with in recent memory, at a downright
bargain price, you really can’t go wrong here.

work on all the ’62 and ’63 models except the
ones with the padded dash, so, that means
they’ll fit the vast majority of B-bodies made
those two years. They also come ready-to-

you’ve got any of the typical interior colors,
Tony’s got you covered with these. Now you
don’t have to lurk around the hardware store
looking for something to make a passable

A
uto Metal Direct continues to
push their creed that nothing is
too far gone, by continuing to
expand their already staggering
line of reproduction sheet metal. We’ve
been in this hobby since before it was a
hobby, and in the last half dozen years
we’ve seen AMD begin to reproduce
steel and body parts we never dreamed
of seeing again, and this month, we’re
once again sitting here with our jaws
agape at what has returned to the parts
bin after at least three decades of
extinction – 1971 to 1974 Charger R/T
and Charger Rallye Ramcharger and
“Power Bulge” hoods. Yep, you read
that right and your eyes aren’t deceiv-
ing you, this is real and happening now,
and for everybody with a long-nosed
Charger, the world just became a better
place.
AMD is now offering these all-
new hoods produced precisely from
factory OE original hoods from which
they made all-new tooling. Thus, these
are exactly the same hoods you
would’ve found on the Dodge assembly

these look exactly like
original pieces. They are
licensed by Chrysler as

amount of time, did you
ever think you’d see
these things again?

awestruck by how many books they turn

knowing how much time and energy goes
into these things, we are way more than just
a little impressed! These guys (and gals)
have a passion for all things automotive and
they must work 24/7! The newest offering
they sent down here is something that
brought back a lot of memories for us, and
if you’re anywhere near our age (or just a
tick older), this one will do the same for
16 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
you as well. Entitled, “Collecting Muscle
Car Model Kits; A Showcase of America’s
Most Popular Model Kits,” this is a serious
trip down memory lane by collector and
hobbyist Tim Boyd. Working with some of
the country’s premier collectors, Tim
assembled a fantastic 176-page volume that
measures 8.5x11” and it has no fewer than
412 photos in it, almost all of which are
color!
The generation of today is gener-
ally obsessed with their cell phones, tablets,
or seeing what’s on Netflix or Youtube, but
back in our day, we eagerly anticipated the
next visit to the toy store or hobby store to
snag a new plastic model kit and grab a few
tubes of the noxious glue that made it all
happen. If you were like us, you spent way
too much time building the things in a room
that wasn’t well ventilated, you always
ended up with parts leftover, and the thing
never looked like it did on the box illustra-
tions. Still, we couldn’t wait to build the
next one and our shelves were full of the
things. And, regrettably, most of us threw
the boxes away, and, with the passage of
time, we also threw the crumbling models
away. Which has created a booming hobby
of collecting the model kits of days gone
by, not only for the nostalgia of it, but
because it’s a serious challenge as well.
Since we all threw these things away, find-
ing a vintage unbuilt kit with its original
box is extremely scarce, and finding a nice-
ly built one with its original box is even
more rare! Tim’s book covers pretty much
the entire spectrum of collecting and dis-
playing these models and their fantastic
boxes, and a lot of stuff you’d likely for-
gotten is waiting to be found here again.
Having been a longtime collector,
Tim covers them all, from the 1950s all the
way through to some of the modern-day
kits, with heavy emphasis placed on the
ones produced during the sixties, seventies,
and eighties. All the big brands (and little
brands) are here, Jo-Han, Revell,
Monogram, MPC, AMT, Lindberg, and
some of the newer brands, such as Polar
Lights, Moebius, Galaxie Limited, and
Round 2, many of which specialize in reis-
suing the retro models. The book is
extremely well laid out, and one of the fas-
cinating things we noted is how Tim made
a point of showing the multiple phases of
some kits’ lifespans as they were issued
and reissued through the years; showing
one particular model car and three to five
different boxes spanning several decades
that it was sold in. This really lets you
know how many life cycles some of these
models had! There’s a lot of ultra-rare kits
shown in the book, some of the coolest
model box artwork ever is highlighted
throughout, and this is a fantastic look into
the little cars that led most of us into put-
ting together bigger cars as we got a little
older. We highly recommend this one, and
be warned, you will likely find yourself
looking on the web for some of these kits
once you get finished with this one!

ou just never know where
you’re going to get interesting
mail from, and in early June,
we got an email from reader
Vesa-Matti Pirttipera way over
in the sunny land of Finland!
Yes, amazingly, we have readers in
Finland, and more amazingly, there are
Mopar fanatics there. Vesa has been
18 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
into old Dodges and Plymouths for
quite a while, and in late May, he
bought his biggest old Mopar (thus far),
and sent us some photos of what hap-
pens to be a really strange car by any-
one’s measuring stick. What you have
here is a 1969 Chrysler 300 hardtop,
but having seen a lot of these cars
through the years, this one is really
quite odd – aside from the fact that it
now may well be the largest car in all of
Finland.
The big 300 is completely orig-
inal, and interestingly enough, was
originally sold new in Oregon by the
looks of things. This one was built at
Chrysler’s Jefferson Avenue plant, and
thankfully the car still has an immacu-
late broadcast sheet present, because its
fender tag looks like it was punched by
somebody who was drunk running the cod-
ing machine – it has darn few codes on it,
and they seem to be scattered all over the
place! Aside from that, this is an A4 silver
metallic car with a factory maroon bench
seat interior, and virtually no options for
being a Chrysler 300. It was built with the
basic AM radio, hand-cranked windows,
the 350 horsepower version of the 440
instead of the optional (but more common)
375 horsepower motor with dual exhaust.
It never had air conditioning, but since
these came standard with power steering
and power brakes, it does have that, and
it’s got three-speed windshield wipers, pre-
sumably because it rains a lot in western
Oregon, and dual rearview mirrors. It
apparently wasn’t an ordered car, as
there’s no indications of that, and signs
point to it simply being a sales bank vehi-
cle produced right in the middle of the pro-
duction year, so, this one’s a bit goofy.
Amazingly, despite its locale, the Chrysler
stayed completely original and never rust-
ed much, so Vesa informs he’s planning on
touching it up and leaving it as original as
possible.
Strange Mopars come in all
shapes and sizes, and in this case, they
can turn up in the strangest places! Next
time you think you’re grabbing a lot of
attention at the drive-in with your E-body,
imagine the looks Vesa is getting over in
Finland pulling up pretty much anywhere
driving this thing! X

 D
allas Theobald is one lucky
guy. Growing up in a Mopar-
oriented drag racing family,
Dallas was driving NHRA
Junior Dragsters when he
was a kid, he’s been driving
A-body Mopars on the street since he
was old enough to have a driver’s
license, and he’s still got a ’69
Barracuda he races quite a bit. Being
22 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
thirty-years-old, Dallas is on the
extremely young end of our hobby, but
he’s way past where a lot of us
would’ve ever dreamed of going. Half a
dozen years ago, Dallas bought Darrell
Alderman’s old Pro Stock Dodge
Durango pickup, and since he’s in the
diesel motor business, Dallas outfitted
the race truck with a radical turbo diesel
Cummins, and despite on-going trans-
mission troubles, he managed to get
the truck to run 8.30s at 163 mph.
Knowing he could do much better, how-
ever, he sold the pickup and wanted to
start from scratch. As you can see, he
certainly has!
Believing in the old creed
that anything worth doing is
worth over-doing, Dallas
made a deal with Chip
King at CK Motorsports to get his
NHRA Pro Mod car outfitted with a
Daytona body, and about a year ago,
the sparks started flying at H&S
Motorsports in St. George, Utah.
Thinking outside the box, tearing the
box up, then throwing the box away,
Dallas decided to build a turbo diesel
Daytona Pro Mod/Quick 16-style car,
and little did he imagine that he’d have
to design and build just about every
component on the car himself. Since
nobody’s done this before, there wasn’t
any source material to fall back on and
nobody to call for parts. If you’re like
us, the swoopy body’s one thing, but
we couldn’t stop looking at the engine
in this beast. That started life as a 6.7
liter Cummins diesel, as used in Ram
trucks, that’s been reworked by
Industrial Injection from the crank
upwards, and is now sporting a 94mm
turbocharger. Dallas tells us he plans
to move up to a much larger turbo once
he has the car’s chassis dialed-in, but
for starters, this will do. He’s using a
Turbo 400 tranny behind the power sta-
tion, and it all connects to a custom-
made steel rear axle. All told, the fin-
ished car will weigh 2,600 pounds, and
if he’s doing the math right, on paper,
this combo should be good enough to
knock down high six-second quarter
miles at right around
the 200 mph mark. Being
a turbo diesel, yes, this is
going to be one heckuva’ show
seeing this thing in action! Dallas
tells us he’s hoping to get a few test
passes in before the snows of winter
eat up his section of Utah, and if they
can get things that far, this one will
come out guns blazing next season.
Obviously, watch for a whole lot more
on this one after it’s completed, and
once again, all of this goes to prove that
Mopar guys just have a whole lot more
imagination than most Ford or Chevy
guys could ever dream about! X

e’ll never get tired of
seeing truly unique
one-of-one creation
Mopars, and at the
Spring Fling in Van
Nuys, California earlier
this year, we happened to see yet
another example of what makes the
Mopar hobby truly alone in the realm of
old collector cars. One thing we are
weary of hearing, and relating, are the
sometimes tragic backstories that these
cars have. Unlike most car magazines
out there, ages ago, we decided that, if
people were reading this magazine,
they likely knew what a Superbird or
AAR ‘Cuda was or they wouldn’t even
be looking at this book, so we didn’t
need to waste a lot of time or pages
explaining what a car was unless it was
something truly out-of-the-ordinary.
Rather, we opted to put more emphasis
on the history of the particular car we
were featuring; it’s peculiar story going
back as far as it could be traced, and
the things which led it to where it is
now. Tonque-in-cheek, we began call-
24 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
ing these “auto biographies,” and that
continues -- to be how we address our
stories today. This leads to some
issues sometimes at the bigger shows
when somebody approaches us with a
440+6 ‘Cuda and asks us if we’d like to
shoot a feature on it and we ask them,
“Is there anything interesting about it?”
We often get looks like we’ve got
snakes coming out of our heads,
because that’s not a question people
who own such cars are accustomed to
hearing, and we certainly don’t mean to
be rude or belittle the car in any way
when we ask such a thing, but the sim-
ple fact is, muscle cars have been in
the spotlight since the early 1980s – if a
car’s not incredibly unusual or has an
interesting personal history, it’s not like-
ly to end up in our magazine, because
most of you have seen plenty of stone
stock ‘Cudas, and if the owner doesn’t
know its history, we have absolutely
nothing to work with. When we laid
eyes on this ’68 Road Runner in SoCal,
we knew right away it was a find of
major importance and deserved pages
in the magazine, but we had no idea
there was a story that went along with it
as well; and neither did the man who
initially discovered the Plymouth after a
very long term hibernation.
Tony Mannella, who lives in
gorgeous downtown Petaluma,
California in the heart of Northern
California’s wine country, is the current
owner/curator of this particular ’68
Road Runner, and believe us, he gen-
uinely appreciates what an interesting
piece of Mopar history he has. It was
Tony’s friend, well-known California
Mopar guy Mark Poggendorf, of
Poggendorf Auto Body in Santa Rosa,
who gets the lion’s share of the credit
for what you’re looking at and for mak-
ing the discovery of a lifetime. And, as
so often happens, the circumstances
surrounding this machine’s unearthing
were completely accidental. Back in
2003, Mark was at a salvage yard
scrapping together some parts and he
got to talking old Mopars with a friendly
older gent. The conversation took an
unexpected turn when the fellow then
 Story by: Randy Holden

Van nuys, CA

said he had a 1968 Road Runner sitting in

his yard that he’d had for a very long time
and was interested in getting rid of.
Obviously, that calls for an exchange of
phone numbers, and within a few days, Mark
pulled up to the man’s house in Richmond,
California and was led around to the back-
yard, where a faded, chalky-white Road
Runner was sitting underneath a tarp that
had dry-rotted and was coming apart all over
the place. The B-body had obviously been
off the road for a really long time and need-
ed a complete restoration, due to years of
outdoor exposure, but the more Mark looked
at it, the more intrigued he became – it was
a white car with a white bench seat interior
(shattered, but nonetheless there), it had a
cracked, dark green, vinyl roof on it, a dark
green dash and steering wheel, black rugs,
and more importantly, it was a matching
numbers 383 four-speed car that had a
decent amount of options on it for a first-year
Road Runner. There were some very
minor rust problems, but since the body
was amazingly straight, and aside from
just looking distressed sitting in the
grass on four flat tires, this thing wasn’t
all that bad. A simple resto should do
the trick, and, the owner told him he’d
driven it to that spot, so as far has he
knew, there was nothing wrong with it
mechanically. The money changed
hands, a trailer went over and, in no
time, the ‘Runner was sitting in Mark’s
shop.
True to the tale, the motor did-
n’t have anything really wrong with it
and just needed to be cleaned up, have
its carb rebuilt, and have a major tune
up performed. Within the week, Mark
had the dormant Plymouth running,
he’d replaced the needed belts and
hoses, put on new brakes for safety’s
sake, and he’d put some fresh rubber
on the 14” chrome Magnum 500 wheels
the car was wearing. With the machine
running good, Mark then proceeded to
use the all-original Plymouth as his
semi-daily driver. So, while he worked
on customer’s cars and did other
restoration projects, the faded white-
and-green Road Runner served as his
fair weather, get back-and-forth to
work, car. After about a year of that,
Mark decided the oddly colored Road
Runner deserved a ground-up restora-
tion, so, he drove it into the shop, pulled
the wheels off, put it up on a jig, and for
the first time since he’d bought it, Mark
took a seriously good look at exactly
what he had bought, and the more he
looked, the more confused and con-
cerned he became. When he pur-
chased the car, the odometer showed
102,442 miles, and the outward condi-
tion of the car was pretty consistent
with that. Having a good look under-
neath, things weren’t looking that way
at all – the ball joints were almost like-
new, the original shocks were there, all
the original date-coded mufflers were
still there, grease pencil markings and
paint splotches were easily seen, and
looking at the pedals, which he’d been
using for more than a year, he finally
noticed there was hardly any wear on
them at all. His curiosity resulted in a
call back to the gent he’d bought the car
from, and a simple question that went
something like, “That Plymouth I
bought from you did have 102,000
www.moparcollectorsguide.com 27
miles on it, didn’t it?” At which point,
the man broke down into tears, and the
tale behind the Plymouth unfolded.
We’re going to leave specific names out
as a matter of respect, but as we’ve
said, it’s a story we’ve heard before
with these cars, and this one is espe-
cially tragic.
The car you’re looking at was
ordered brand-new in late 1968 at East
Bay Oakland Dodge. The buyer was a
jubilant young man who was treating
himself to his first new car since he had
graduated from high school and the
new Road Runners were capturing all
the headlines in the car magazines at
that time. Coming from an upper-mid-
dle-class background in an area that’s
unusually conservative for California
(actually, the wine country is like a
whole other state), the young man
ordered up one of the most unusual ’68
Road Runners we’ve seen. He picked
the bright white paint overall, with a
matching bright white bench seat interi-
or. Then, he went really off-the-playlist
and began selecting things not normal-
ly associated with a plain white Road
Runner. The big one is the textured
dark green vinyl roof, which also got
him a dark green dash, instrument
panel, a dark green steering wheel,
dark green painted interior door trim,
and even dark green seatbelts! He
opted for the shiny chrome 14”
Magnum 500 wheels usually associated
with the GTX, and also opted for the new
hood “blackout” matte black hood treat-
ment. He got power steering, power
drum brakes, an AM/8-track stereo, the
factory tachometer, tinted windows, and
the basic 383 hooked to a Hurst four-
speed and backed by a 3.23 Sure Grip
rear axle. After having checked off that
many option boxes on a first-year Road
Runner, one can only wonder why the
teenager didn’t get dual rearview mirrors,
or hood pins, or head rests for the bench
seat, but, for whatever reasons, he didn’t.
The way you see it here is exactly how it
was ordered and delivered new.
The white/green Plymouth
arrived in NorCal in mid-1969, to the
delight of its new owner; in the meantime,
however, something else had occurred,
he had received his draft notice from
Uncle Sam. The young man only drove
his brand-new Road Runner for about two
months before being shipped off for basic
training, and from there, he went straight
to Vietnam. Within weeks of arriving in
‘Nam, the young man was killed in action.
In the short span of perhaps six months,
the father had the jubilation of high school
graduation, his son getting a fantastic
new hot rod, the future looking fantastic,
his son getting drafted, then getting the
notice from the Army that he had been
killed. As any of us can imagine, that was
devastating. The man took his son’s
beloved car, stuck it in the garage and
30 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
covered it with sheets, and there it
remained for decades without being
moved. As space became more of a
problem with the passage of time, he got
the Plymouth running, drove it around the
neighborhood briefly, but the memories
were still too painful, so it was retired to
his backyard and covered with a tarp, and
that’s where it spent the remainder of the
years with him – in all, two months of
being driven when new, thirty-five-years
of sitting at a father’s house waiting for a
son that would never come home. And
finally, a chance meeting with Mark
Poggendorf at a salvage yard showed
this gent someone who had the same
sparkle in his eye that his son had pos-
sessed when talking about hot rod
Mopars, and that’s what led to the car
changing hands. It had remained right
there in Richmond, California all its life,
completely off-the-radar, without even the
most hardcore enthusiasts knowing of its
existence. After hearing all that, Mark
knew the car deserved a nut-and-bolt
OEM-quality restoration.
Mark put the Road Runner on a
jig in his shop and tore it completely apart,
and then, as always seems to happen, he
got busy. Occasionally doing some work
on the Road Runner, it sat largely
untouched on that jig year after year, and
that’s when his friend, Tony Mannella,
began taking an interest in it. Tony owned
a ’67 GTX convertible for more than twen-
ty years, so the guys knew each other
through the Wine County Mopar Club.
Back around 2014, Tony succeeded in
convincing Mark to sell him the project
car, with the caveat that Mark would buck-
le down and they’d get this thing properly
restored and back on the road. By that
time, Tony knew the car’s history as well,
and both guys wanted to see it done. So,
the paperwork changed hands, but the
Plymouth remained in place, and Tony
and his crew began busting hump on the
unusual car. Both Dave Weiss and Galen
Govier have authenticated the machine,
and Tony informs us both told him, as far
as is currently known, it’s the only green-
over-white 1968 Road Runner on the
planet, so even putting aside the other
options, it’s a one-of-one just on merit
of its color combo alone.
The complete restoration was
done in May 2015, and the big 383 rum-
bled to life and the Hurst spirited the car
back to action once more as the weath-
er was just turning from fantastic to
spectacular. Since it’s a seriously
restored car with ultra-low mileage and
a rather historic story, Tony never has
intended to use this one as a daily driv-
er or cruiser, but that first summer, he
did add a few miles to the odometer.
So, as of this writing, after Mark and
Tony have added their driving to the
clock, the original mileage on this one
still stands at only 3,800 miles, and as
many of the factory original parts that
could be preserved and saved were
reused in the car’s restoration.
Unfortunately, the original owner’s
father passed away while the B-body
was being completed, thus he never
got to see the revamped Plymouth, but
both Tony and Mark had hoped to
reunite him with the car.
Tony made a few local shows
up north in 2016 and 2017, but a busy
schedule kept him away from the big
Mopar events until he made the Spring
Fling in 2018. Since the car was virtu-
ally unknown, this thing took Woodley
Park by storm, once again proving you
don’t need a Hemi to steal the show.
After getting a whole lot of attention and
praise in SoCal, Tony trailered his prize
back to the more scenic part of the
state. He informs us he’ll continue to
use it for local car shows and some
cruise night activities, and he’d love to
haul it east to Carlisle one day, but for
the most part, this one is going to
remain a low-mileage time capsule and
a tribute to the boy who didn’t come
home. He may have left us far too
early, but thanks to this 3,800 pound
reminder, we have a good glimpse into
his personality, and his legacy will live
on. X

T
his month’s pics from the past
feature includes several shots
from the family photo album of
reader Darren Wilson out in
California. One shows his dad
(Jon) with his ’67 GTX in 1972,
when the car was sporting a 361 engine
instead of its original 440. He eventually
bored the motor to make it a
383, and it ran 15.10s in the
quarter – this was the car
that started an entire Mopar
family. The white 1964
Chrysler 300K was owned
by Jon Wilson from 1976 to
1981, when these things
were nothing more than
weird old cars. It still had
the long cross-ram intake
on the 413, and Jon used
it to tow an 8x30’ trailer!
His wife had a ’66
Charger during that time,
powered by yet another
361 big block.
Finally, we
have a seriously cool
photo showing an inter-
esting duo. Jon’s friend,
Larry Blasier, owned a
1968 GTX, and togeth-
er they built another
1968 GTX drag car,
which they ran out at
Orange County
Raceway during the
late seventies. This
photo shows Larry’s
street GTX towing
Jon and Larry’s drag
GTX off to the track in
1976. The drag car also had a
413 in it, which had been pirated from a
1963 Chrysler 300. Darren tells us it was
bored, had an 11:1 compression ratio, a
3.54 Dana, and it ran a best of 13.54 at
110 mph. Not bad for a couple of working
class guys on a tight budget! And, most
importantly, all that put Darren on the
path to being a Mopar devotee!
Thanks to Darren for sharing the
family photos, it certainly looks like he
had a very interesting childhood! X

For sale is an authentic Chrysler manufac-
tured front bench seat for a 1970 - 74 Cuda
or Challenger, great for restoration and is
priced to sell. Build Date codes on the seat
are as follows: Bench Seat 7-11-69; Right
Seat Back 9-16-69; Left Seat Back 9-06-69.
Please email me for pictures, This seat has
been completely disassembled for inspec-
tion to ensure proper operation and prior to
reassembly; all machine threads were
cleaned and “chased” with the appropriate
tap, finding no stripped machine treads in
either the track mounting bolt threads or the
hinge cover machine screw threads. One
seat back panel is orig to the seat and the
other (white) one was taken from another
seat to complete the pair. These are
extremely rare and hard to find. While both
seat back panels would be considered in
rough cond, they can be restored by Just
Dashes where they will re-skin the panels
making them look like new. There are a few
parts that will need to make this seat com-
plete. The missing parts are: both inner
hinge covers next to the arm rest, one left
outer hinge cover, and a set of seat tracks. I
have a set of new seat tracks for sale sepa-
rately for $135.00 if orig cannot be found.
Due to the size & weight of the seat, this
item is for local pick up only. However,
please feel free to email bhunsel@sbcglob-

n times past, when we’ve picked on
the Sierra Club and other similar
groups, that’s about the only time
we’ve ever gotten any genuine hate
mail about our environmental
columns (and even at that, it’s been
very minimal). But, this month, we are
here to tell you in black-and-white, cut-
and-dried terms, if you are a member of the
Sierra Club, Greenpeace, or any similar
organizations, you are financially support-
ing Communist/Marxist extreme hate
groups – you are not advocating to protect
the environment, you are lining the pockets
of extremely rich hypocrites who absolute-

do with freedom and liberty. If you can’t

handle the truth, sorry, but the Sierra Club
might as well have a hammer and sickle as
their symbol. This month, we’d like to
strike back at the Sierra Club and
Greenpeace in particular, and call them out
as the scum-sucking, low-life, in-bred, fas-
cist bast*rds they really are, primarily
because they decided to declare war on the
American auto industry, and for some
bizarre reason, Ford in particular – presum-
ably because Ford has the best-selling vehi-
cle in America, the F150 pickup. In early
June, the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and sev-
eral wanna-be groups began running full-
page, full-color advertisements in The
Detroit News, The Detroit Free Press, and
in a host of online sites, blasting Ford,
specifically, over the recent EPA decision to
roll back the horrifying Obama-era CAFE
standards. We’ve already penned our
thoughts on that decision here and we wish
they would do away with CAFE standards
altogether, but we highly praised the EPA
for doing this and, in doing so, saving the
American auto industry and countless thou-
sands of jobs. The Sierra Club, for whatev-
er reason, thinks Ford is to blame and this
64 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
will be the end of all life on our planet – or
do they? Whenever anyone does anything,
to borrow a line from Game of Thrones, ask
yourself, who benefits? And what is the
most logical reason for someone doing
something? We shall begin with the article
about the all-out war on Ford, where the
Sierra Club changes Ford’s blue oval logo
to read “Trump” (so obviously they hate the
President as well), and we shall return with
a little commentary. From The Detroit
News, June 15, 2018, as penned by Keith
Laing, here you go.
“Four environmental groups are
targeting Ford Motor Company in their
campaign to prevent the easing of stringent
gas mileage rules under review by
President Donald Trump’s administration.
In full-page ads running Saturday in The
Detroit News and Detroit Free Press, the
groups - the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, Safe
Climate Campaign, and Public Citizen -
accuse Ford of working behind the scenes
in Washington to convince the Trump
administration to roll back the mileage
rules, which would require automakers to
produce fleets that average over fifty miles-
per-gallon. The automaker denies it is try-
ing to convince the White House to do any
such thing.
“The ad’s headline, which is
superimposed over a photo of a tailpipe
spewing exhaust and a blue oval with a
stylized script reading ‘Trump,’ reads: ‘Too
bad Ford Motor Company’s motto of ‘Go
Further,’ doesn’t apply to our nation’s gas
tanks.’ It goes on to say: ‘Today, Ford
Motor Company celebrates 115 years in
business by encouraging Trump to roll back
the clean car standards.’ Ford pushed back
against the ad in a statement to The Detroit
News. ‘As we have previously said, we
continue to support increasing clean car
standards through 2025 and are not asking
for a rollback,’ the carmaker said.
‘Importantly, we want one set of standards
nationally, along with additional flexibility
to help us provide more affordable options
for our customers. We will continue to urge
the EPA, NHTSA, and California, to work
together and deliver on this standard.’
“The company and other
automakers have pointed out that California
and twelve other states currently have high-
er gas mileage standards than required by
the federal government. Carmakers have
argued for one national standard so they do
not have to produce cars to meet different
mileage rules. California sets its own emis-
sions standards under a waiver included in
the 1970 Clean Air Act. A dozen other
states have adopted the California rules,
accounting for a third of the U.S. auto mar-
ket. The federal fuel-economy rules at
issue were enacted in 2012 and began tak-
ing effect with the 2017 model year. They
called for ramping up from the current
fleet-wide average of about thirty-five
miles-per-gallon for cars and trucks, to
more than thirty-seven miles-per-gallon in
2019, and nearly thirty-nine miles-per-gal-
lon in 2020. The eventual goal of between
fifty and fifty-three miles-per-gallon was
set for the year 2025.
“The CAFE rules, intended to
reduce dependence on foreign oil and
reduce greenhouse gases, were put in place
by the Obama administration when gas
prices topped $4 per gallon. The rules were
finalized by the Obama administration
ahead of schedule in the months after
Trump’s 2016 win, angering automakers
who argued they were promised a mid-term
review in 2018.
“The review was reinstated by the
Trump administration in April, over the
objection of environmental and consumer
groups who argued that the Obama admin-
istration’s scientific rationale for preserving
the mileage rules was solid. Carmakers say
drivers have demonstrated in recent years that
they are less interested in fuel-efficient cars
and electric vehicles with gas prices that are
now around $3. Andrew Linhardt, the deputy
director of the Sierra Club’s Clean
Transportation for All campaign, said, ‘Ford
claimed to be a green company, repeatedly
telling us they wanted to put climate action in
the fast lane with the clean car standards. But
ever since Trump was elected, they’ve
stomped on the brakes, seeking to put climate
action in reverse by working to undo these
very same standards.’
“Ford has defended its record on
fuel economy against previous attacks from
environmental lobbyists in Washington by
pointing to a March 27 post by CEO Jim 440 Source 775-883-2590 6 Magnum Auto Restoration 815-220-8081 53

 to raise funds for their cause –
Communism. The Sierra Club is no better
at all, but, they have a better publicity
firm. Outside of their official information
on the web, there’s darned little about the
Sierra Club visible (it’s almost like
Google doesn’t want you to see any pic-
tures of them). But, we did look at their
headquarters building on Google Earth,
and we were absolutely astonished to see
a whole lot of Audi, Mercedes, Lexus, and
Range Rover vehicles parked all around
the place – didn’t see a single plug-in
hybrid anywhere. We were also interested
to see their official website has a giant
green banner across the top reading “Fight
In short, the Sierra Club ain’t worried about no
thing and nobody except themselves, so if you
want to make a difference in this world, give your
money to the Shriner’s Children Hospital or St.
Jude’s Children’s Hospital, or some other charity
that actually does good work with your money
instead of using it for political purposes
back! Protect America from Trump!
Donate now!” with a big green button you
can click on to make donations. We were
also surprised (not) to learn that the Sierra
Club recently financed a huge rally in
SoCal to oppose building a border wall
with Mexico – yep, that makes perfect
sense for the environment, doesn’t it? So,
let’s look at who the Sierra Club is, even
though that’s darned hard to find. The
easiest one-stop source is a place called
Activistfacts.com.
The Sierra Club was formed
with good intentions in 1892 by a guy
named John Muir, and for sixty years, they
were low-key and helped planting trees
and working to preserve wildlife areas,
then came the 1960’s, when a guy named
David Browser took over and launched
the organization into the mainstream with
corporate funding and put it on the path to
being what it is today – a “non-profit” that
pays its execs six figures, has a shell com-
pany set up in Bermuda to funnel money,
and posted $109 million in revenue (annu-
ally) on their latest public tax return.
Browser is perhaps most famous for say-
ing, “Childbearing should be a punishable
crime against society, unless the parents
66 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
hold a government license. All potential
parents should be required to use contra-
ceptive chemicals, the government issuing
antidotes to citizens chosen for childbear-
ing.” Yeah, he sounds like a fun guy.
Their leader, Paul Watson, said in 2003,
“Don’t bring any more humans into being.
There are enough of us.” Call us old-fash-
ioned, but there seems to be a pattern at
work regarding who they put at the helm.
The Sierra Club changes CEO’s pretty
regular, usually because they step aside
after getting their hands caught in the
cookie jar, as they did in 2010 when it was
discovered they had taken $36 million in
donations from the natural gas industry,
all the while campaigning hard against
dirty old natural gas. Klein Limited,
based in Bermuda, exists only on paper,
according to a Washington Free Beacon
expose article, and along with the very
similar Tides Foundation, they have
donated more than $200 million to the
Sierra Club since 1997. They’ve also
received more than $50 million from New
York mayor Michael Bloomberg, who’s
pretty well-known for being about as hard
left-wing as anyone can get. And the lists
go on-and-on when you look – major cor-
porations and people, all of whom have
direct ties to companies which manufac-
ture goods related to things such as wind
turbines, solar panels, generators, and
things like that, but also companies which
have direct ties to the coal and oil industry,
as well as general manufacturing.
Honestly, some of it really just doesn’t
make sense on the face of it, because they
would seem to be the companies the Sierra
Club wouldn’t want money from. Their
current chair is a lady named Loren
Blackford, a billionaire from New York
who donated heavily to Barack Obama
and Hillary Clinton, so, obviously, they
need your contributions to “stop Trump”
and save the environment – by blasting
Ford Motor Company, protesting the
President, and holding rallies against bor-
der walls – right?
Vainly looking for some logical
reason The Sierra Club is mad at Ford, we
looked everywhere and finally turned to
Loren Blackford’s Twitter account (we
hate Twitter), where she frequently
retweets such favorites as David Hogg and
Elizabeth Warren, for a possible answer.
We didn’t find the direct link, but with just
a few short tugs, we found what we were
looking for.
Ford’s CEO, James Hackett,
happens to be the only openly Republican
head of an American car company exis-
tent, and he’s been an open backer of
Republican candidates (he didn’t con-
tribute to Donald Trump however and
stayed out of the 2016 Presidential race).
Hackett donates a lot of money to charity,
Miss Loren donates a lot of money to
Democrats or to left-wing radical organi-
zations. But here’s the big takeaway.
In 2011, Mayor Bloomberg
granted Nissan an exclusive deal to stock
New York City with taxis for ten years – a
deal reportedly worth in excess of a billion
dollars. And remember, Bloomberg hap-
pens to be the Sierra Club’s largest indi-
vidual financial donor. Ford, earlier this
year, announced a specialized hybrid ver-
sion of the Fusion, designed specifically
to be used in taxicab service, and talks
were underway with New York to obtain
an exclusive contract when Nissan’s con-
tract runs out in 2021. Now, with the
future of that car in jeopardy, and presum-
ably the already well underway negotia-
tions with Mayor Bloomberg, suddenly,
Ford Motor Company is the enemy of the
entire world according to the Sierra Club –
you guys starting to see how all this
works? Pull the strings, follow the money.
In short, the Sierra Club ain’t
worried about no thing and nobody except
themselves, so if you want to make a dif-
ference in this world, give your money to
the Shriner’s Children Hospital or St.
Jude’s Children’s Hospital, or some other
charity that actually does good work with
your money instead of using it for political
purposes and buying bacon wrapped
shrimp for themselves while riding in their
new private jets. The “swamp” extends a
lot farther out than just Washington, and
it’s got a whole lot more snakes in it than
the mainstream media is ever going to tell
you about. X
W
e first ran into Bill Flynn,
out of the greater
Orlando area, some-
where back in the late
nineties, when he was
becoming pretty well
known throughout the hobby because
of his Sassy Grass 1971 ‘Cuda con-
vertible. Having had an infatuation with
’71 ‘Cuda ragtops forever, it’s rather a
complex story, but Bill hunted for a
decent example for a very long time
(one that he could afford anyway), and
as he watched the cars come and go, it
always seemed they were a couple
thousand dollars more than he hap-
pened to have at the moment, so they
continued to be elusive for almost a
decade. He managed to find hardtop
‘Cudas he could afford, and gathered
several as the muscle car hobby was in
its early years, but getting one without a
68 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
roof seemed like a major obstacle that
just wasn’t going to happen. Finally, in
1996, Bill landed his beloved Sassy
Grass ’71 ‘Cuda convert, and he made
just about every major Mopar event
existent with that car for the next four or
five years. Owning a ’71 ‘Cuda con-
vertible is considered the pinnacle of
success for many of us in the Mopar
hobby, and for Bill, it briefly was; until
he bought his second one. That sec-
ond led to a third, which led to a fourth,
which led to a fifth. So, within a few
years of finally owning his dream car,
Bill Flynn had no fewer than five of the
things in his garage! Two of those con-
verts were purple back then, one was
an immaculate numbers-matching
restoration, and the other he turned into
a Hemicuda look-a-like with a modern
transmission and modern suspension
components for high-speed reliable
cruising. Then, the dark years of the
construction downturn hit back around
2009, and both of the purple ‘Cudas
ended up being sold off to an enthusi-
ast in Finland, and everything but the
Sassy Grass car wound up getting sold
as business continued to take a beat-
ing, but Bill was determined to hang
onto the car that started it all and hope
for better days ahead. Well, as you can
see, just about everywhere happy days
are here again.
Bill’s construction business is
booming again, better than ever, which
has allowed him to shake off the bitter-
sweet days of getting his dream cars
only to sell some of them off, and in the
last couple of years, he’s been rebuild-
ing the fleet bigger and better than
before. For his regular semi-daily driv-
er he’s got an older resto red ’71 ‘Cuda
that’s amazingly reliable, he still has the

Sassy Grass car, and he’s got a purple
Hellcat Challenger with a very rare tan
leather interior! As if the Hellcat isn’t
enough, his buddies over at the Dodge
dealership in Orlando were pestering
him about how he’d regret not ordering
up a new Dodge Demon, so after quite
a bit of back-and-forth, he finally
ordered a new purple Dodge Demon
Challenger, and then a weird twist of
fate came around. Not long after he
ordered it, a bulletin came out with a
new interior color, red, and the factory
sent notices to those who had out-
standing orders about this. Bill
changed his interior choice from black
to red, everybody held their breath, and
the factory realized they had done
something just crazy enough that die-
hard Mopar fanatics would pick up and
run with – change their orders to red
interiors with unusual exterior paint
jobs. Reluctantly, the factory signed off
on the deal, so Bill will soon be taking
possession of a purple Demon with a
red leather interior; oddly enough, one
of eight being built with that color
combo! Even scarcer, he tells us, two
people opted for yellow cars with red
interiors, and there is at least one
metallic green one being built with a red
leather interior! You wanna’ know
where the rare Mopars are coming from
for the next generation? Look no fur-
ther than this slip up from Dodge!
All that aside, obviously, the
car at-hand isn’t a new generation
Challenger, and it’s not likely a machine
you’ve seen a whole lot of before, but
this one has some interesting personal
history with Bill Flynn, primarily
because it’s the first ’71 ‘Cuda convert-
ible he seriously tried to buy, way back
in 1992! The tale begins when Bill was

ocala, fl
looking through auto trader magazines
down there, back in ’92, and happened
upon an In-Violet ‘Cuda convertible for
sale in the Miami area at a small, pri-
vately owned, car museum. He went
down to have a look, and there was this
purple convertible, at that time with a
conventional dual scoop hood and no
billboard decals, wearing a repaint and
sporting some relatively new white seat
covers, and overall, the Plymouth didn’t
look all that bad. Bill took it out for a
test drive, wheeled around Miami for a
bit with the top down, liked the car plen-
ty good enough, but then it came down
to the matter of paying for it. Bear in
mind, this was 1992, and the owner, a
guy named “Sharkey” wasn’t going to
take a nickel less than twelve grand for
the car, and for a 383 ‘Cuda ragtop with
a TorqueFlite in it, that was simply too
www.moparcollectorsguide.com 69
much money – hey, if it had been a
440+6 car, obviously that would’ve
been a bargain, but for a solid purple
383 car, it was just too much (yes, times
have changed a lot). So, Bill passed on
the deal after spending the day with the
car, and about the time he landed his
Sassy Grass car in 1996, he found out
the purple convertible he’d played with
in Miami had eventually been sold to
his friend and fellow collector, Robby

Yow, up in the Carolinas. Robby
restored the convert again sometime in
the late nineties to the state you now
see, adding a Shaker hood and a white
billboard decal in the process, and the
car was then sold off to Tom Lembeck
for a while. After Tom had the convert
for a bit, he, in turn, sold it to a collector
up in Minnesota, so this ended up going
from Miami to Minnesota during about a
fifteen-year span – talk about culture
shock for this little Plymouth!
This brings us up to the
Chryslers at Carlisle event in 2017,
when Bill Flynn was roaming around
taking in the sights and sounds, and he
struck up a conversation with his friend,
Greg Nelsen. Talking ‘Cudas, as
always, Greg mentioned he’d gotten
wind of a factory purple ’71 convert in
Minnesota that was for sale and he
asked Bill if he knew anyone who would
be interested in it. Surprised, Bill said,
“Yeah, me!” A few phone calls later, the
realization of the old adage “what
comes around, goes around,” really
struck home, when the Plymouth’s
owner started mentioning the convert-
ible’s lineage and Bill realized it was the
same ‘Cuda he’d tried to buy way back
in 1992. This time, thanks to fate and a
better bank book, Bill had the money to

www.moparcollectorsguide.com 71
make the deal, and the ragtop that had
set his hair to flying decades before
was put on a trailer and was soon in his
driveway, finally, after evading capture
for all those years. We can say it over
and over again, but some things are
just destined to happen.
Upon finally getting this one
home in late 2017, Bill began delving
into the car full-bore and investigating
what history could be discovered about
it. All roads for this one lead back to
Ohio, interestingly enough – Toledo,
Ohio to be exact. This one was special-
ordered new through a Toledo dealer-
ship relatively late in the year, and the
original owner picked some interesting
options and made an interesting mis-
take that we’ve seen repeated on a
number of ‘Cudas. Unlike today, the
billboard decals were not popular, back
in 1971, with the buying public, as they
were considered over-the-top even by
the standards of that time. So, this one
was ordered without the big decals,
72 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
with the basic dual scoop hood, hood
pins, running lights up front, 14” Road
wheels instead of Rallyes or the basic
steel rims, dual chrome mirrors, the
basic 383 and console-shifted
TorqueFlite, and a 3.23 Sure Grip rear
axle. Since it was an Ohio car, air con-
ditioning wasn’t a big deal, but power
brakes and power steering was, and of
course, the original owner wanted the
striking In Violet Purple paint with a
white interior and white top. One of the
omissions is something we spoke with
Bill about because we see it a fair
amount on ’71 ‘Cudas, and that’s the
lack of a Rallye instrument panel, which
was a very low cost option, and given
how much better that package was
than the basic 120-mph speedometer
Barracuda instrument cluster, we’re
always surprised when ‘Cudas don’t
have a Rallye dash. Bill, being very
much into these cars, immediately had
the answer – it was an assumption on
the behalf of the buyers that the cars
would come standard with a Rallye
dash, and the dealership simply weren’t
telling them it was optional. And all of
this was a corporate decision to cut
costs and keep the Plymouth in a sub-
ordinate position to Dodge!
In spite of their value today,
one must remember, in the grand peck-
ing order of the old Chrysler
Corporation, Plymouth was the lowest
rung on the ladder in 1970 and 1971.
Across the board, Plymouths had to be
cheaper than their Dodge equivalents
or the universe would’ve been thrown
out of balance. With all the extra trim
and the expensive grille worked into the
1971 ‘Cuda, the car was costing more
to build than a new Challenger R/T, so
the execs had to find ways to make the
sticker price of ‘Cudas lower than that
of Challenger R/T’s. To do this, they
made the standard Barracuda dash
standard equipment across the board,
made steel wheels and hubcaps stan-
dard, and made just about everything
on the ’71 ‘Cuda optional equipment.
That kept the MSRP for a basic 1971
‘Cuda lower than the basic sticker price
for a Challenger R/T, and the higher-up
corporate execs were happy with that.
Consequently, with all Challenger R/Ts
coming standard with Rallye instrument
74 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
panels, buyers of ‘Cudas assumed they
would automatically get them as well –
but, that wasn’t the case, and it
explains why you see the basic instru-
ments even in a decent number of
Hemicudas from 1971. Still, looking
this one over, we don’t think any of us
out there would balk at this one today
simply for the lack of a few gauges!
Since getting the Plymouth in-
hand, Bill Flynn’s enjoyed running the
wheels off it, but he tells us the repro
Polyglas tires are beating him to death
and he’s going to be swapping them out
fairly soon for a retro set of Cragar
mags and some fatter tires so he can
start making tours and long distance
cruises with this one. He’ll keep the
factory tires and wheels for shows, of
course, but since he wants to drive this
long overdue ragtop and enjoy it prop-
erly, it needs more street savvy rubber.
Other than that, this one will likely stay
unchanged and firmly within Bill’s grasp
for a very long time to come. Having
known this one for so long, and with it
being that first “real” car that got away,
he’s tickled purple that fate brought it all
the way back to Florida again. All we
can say, on a parting note, is that Bill’s
neighbors better like purple, because
with three rumbling purple Mopars sit-
ting in the driveway, Bill’s neighborhood
is going to be darned colorful and rather
noisy as well! X

odge seldom learned
from mistakes, especial-
ly when it came to
advertising campaigns
and car names. The
Dodge Demon immediately drew
fire from churches everywhere
which resulted in the name soon
being changed simply to Dart
Sport, and a few years later, they
came out with a truck they called
“The Warlock.” Yeah. And then
came the famous (or infamous)
“Adult Toys” ad campaign for
Dodge trucks during the late sev-
enties, usually with scantily clad
young women, and again, church-
es everywhere were aghast at the
inuendo. Still, the trucks sold well
during the era of the custom van,
although we doubt the ad cam-
paign had anything to do with it –
Dodge simply had great-looking
vehicles for that market at exactly
the right time. Had it not been for
the trucks and vans, without ques-
tion, Chrysler Corporation
would’ve gone under before
Iacocca arrived to save it from
nearly a decade of bad decisions.
This month’s ad is impor-
tant because it came during the
height of the Adult Toys ad cam-
paign and showcases the rarest of
the rare all on one page. The
Street Van with the “macho”
(Austin Powers) male symbol on it
was (and still is) an extremely rare
piece and this shows the least
popular graphics (by far) that
Dodge offered on their hot-selling
Street Vans. The Macho Package
short-box Power Wagon also illus-
trates the best possible color
combo one could hope for on that
sought-after truck, and the Macho

his is one of the more complicated stories we’ve
had in MCG in a very long time. It’s not compli-
cated particularly because this is an unusual car,
it’s complicated because there are so many differ-
ent elements at play, all surrounding this particular
1972 Charger SE. What’s so special about it? To be short
and to-the-point, it was given to major league baseball hall-
of-famer Roberto Clemente by Dodge on February 1, 1972,
as a prize for his having been named the 1971 World Series’
Most Valuable Player. And, if you know anything about

78 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE

baseball, you will recall, Roberto Clemente
was killed on December 31, 1972, in a
plane crash while flying aid packages to
earthquake victims in Nicaragva. And now,
for the first time since 1972, the Charger is
back in the United States and restored to its
original glory thanks to some major effort
by Daytona Beach collector and Dodge
dealer, Randy Dye, so obviously, we have a
whole lot of dots to connect here to bring us
from point A to point B.
First off, we’ll go into this with
the assumption that not every Mopar fanat-
ic is a hardcore baseball fanatic.
Admittedly, we’re not really deep into it
around here, and while we’d certainly
heard of Roberto Clemente, we didn’t
appreciate his importance in the great
American pastime. Babe Ruth, Joe
DiMaggio, and Hank Aaron are synony-
mous with baseball, but few players in his-
tory have had the impact that Roberto
Clemente had during his extraordinary
career. That career started in 1955 with the
Pittsburgh Pirates, where he was immedi-
ately referred to by everyone (including the
baseball card makers) as “Bob” Clemente.
Being a black guy from Puerto Rico, only
seven years after Jackie Robinson had
become the first black man in MLB,
Clemente faced a lot of pushback in those
early years, and during those years, he was
also finishing up his time with the Marine
Corps Reserves. In 1960, his career really
got off to a proper start, and Clemente
became (arguably) the most important play-
er of that decade. Three thousand hits, two
hundred and forty homeruns, thirteen hun-
dred and five runs batted in, he maintained
a batting average of .317 (Babe Ruth’s was
.342, and that was spread over the course of
twenty-one-years). He won the sport’s
Golden Glove award twelve times, he was
the National League MVP in 1966, he led
the Pittsburgh Pirates to victory in two
World Series, in 1960 and again in 1971,
and, all the while, he was balancing his
family life and leading a whole other exis-
tence with charitable and philanthropic
activities. The racism and rejection he ini-
tially faced melted away quickly as he
made Pittsburgh one of the premier teams
of the decade, and the ridicule quickly
turned into adoration and a devoted fan
base. He married in 1964, a lovely lady
named Vera, and they had three children,
Roberto Jr., Luis Roberto, and Roberto
Enrique. When not playing baseball,
Roberto was at home with his family in
Puerto Rico, or in the Carolinas, or more
often than not, donating his time and
resources to a huge variety of charitable
organizations. A tireless worker, and hav-
ing come from an impoverished back-
ground, he never let his fame go to his
head, and instead, he used it to raise money
and generate aid for people all over the
United States and Central America. Which,
regrettably, is what led to his tragic death.
On December 23, 1972, a massive earth-
quake struck Nicaragua. Insistent on help-
ing, Clemente rented an aged DC-7 that had
recently been in a minor accident, packed it
until it was 4,000 pounds overweight, and
acting as co-pilot himself, they took off
from Puerto Rico just after 9:00 PM on
New Year’s Eve. Two engines failed right

after takeoff and the large prop plane
crashed into the Atlantic less than twenty
minutes after taking off, killing all five peo-
ple aboard. Roberto Clemente was dead at
the age of thirty-eight, and few will argue,
if he had lived, he likely would’ve been the
greatest player in the history of baseball.
Pulling back from this tragedy
just over a year, we find Clemente celebrat-
ing the Pittsburgh Pirates’ victory in the
1971 World Series over the Baltimore
Orioles. The Pirates won the Series 4-3,
with the final game on October 17, 1971.
Clemente was named Series MVP and was
at the pinnacle of his career. Dodge (and
other car companies) had a tradition of giv-
ing away new cars to sports stars and racers
(which continues today, not so much with
Dodge but quite a bit with GM and Ford),
and they had an arrangement in place with
MLB to give the Series MVP a brand-new
Charger SE. We’re not sure of the exact
date, but it had to be no later than
November, given the car’s build date and
delivery, when Roberto Clemente sat down
with a Chrysler rep and began checking off
boxes to build his “award car” Dodge
Charger. This one wasn’t a loaded sales
bank car like the ones typically given away
today, Dodge actually allowed the winners
to pick their options and build their own
cars back then. That being the case,
Roberto wanted Hemi Orange paint, a
white bucket seat interior, the 440 Magnum
engine hooked to a console shifted
TorqueFlite, power disc brakes, power
steering, an AM/FM stereo with the cas-
sette player/recorder, power windows, dual
chrome mirrors, front and rear sway bars,
hideaway headlights, the cool slotted
exhaust tips, a luggage rack, and 14” Road
Wheels. Honestly, about the only thing this
one doesn’t have is cruise control! In late
January 1972, publicity photos were taken
of Clemente getting his Charger, then he
registered it in Puerto Rico on February 1,
1972, and from what we’re told, he drove
the big SE quite a bit in those few months
he had left. In fact, he drove this car to the
airport on December 31, 1972, where he
helped load the cargo DC-7, before strap-
ping himself into the co-pilot’s seat – he got
to enjoy the car for eleven months, during
the time he was home and not off playing
ball with the Pirates. Which brings us to
Mopar collector, and baseball fan, Randy
Dye
Randy grew up in western
Pennsylvania, moved to Florida, and has
been the owner/operator of Daytona
Dodge/Jeep/Ram for decades. A hardcore
Mopar fanatic, Randy displays his old
Mopars in his showroom, including a ’69
Charger Daytona, a triple white ’72 Road
Runner, a survivor ’58 Lancer coupe with
9,600 original miles on it, and a survivor
’78 Kit Car with ultra-low mileage as well.
And, predictably, his dealership has
become well-known on the Atlantic-side of
Florida for moving a lot of high-profile new
Challengers and Chargers. When Randy
was eleven-years-old, he was actually at
game five of the 1971 World Series at
Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, saw
Clemente play, and watched them blank the
Orioles 4-0 that day. He grew up a Pirates
fan, and still is, which led to an unimagined
chain of events that started six years ago,
when Randy Dye and his daughter were
visiting Pittsburgh, went to a ballgame, and
www.moparcollectorsguide.com 81
then went to the small (but very nice)
Roberto Clemente Museum nearby. The
museum is filled with memorabilia pertain-
ing to Roberto’s career, and while talking to
the owner/curator, Duane Rieder, Randy
mentioned he was a Dodge dealer now in
Florida, which was immediately met with
the response, “Wow, do you think you
could do anything to help get Clemente’s
Dodge Charger out of Puerto Rico? The
paperwork’s messed up on it and the fami-
ly doesn’t seem to know what to do.” At
which point, Randy started asking ques-
tions, because like probably most of you,
he’d never heard of this car before and had
no idea such a thing existed. He got contact
information from the museum, and in just a
few weeks, Randy was in touch with
nonother than Roberto’s widow, Vera, in
Puerto Rico.
Immediately, Randy struck up a more than reluctant to let the Charger go, into a disaster of epic proportions, and after
friendship with Vera, and he soon began and even larger, nobody in the family had starting his efforts in 2013, Randy gave up
negotiations to buy the Charger, with the seen any of the paperwork on the car since after months of trying, deciding not to push

salty air that generally eats up cars on the
island, but, Randy Dye presumed the worst
at that point, having seen other cars that
came from Puerto Rico, he assumed the
belly of this one would be pretty well rotted
out. Failing to make much headway, he
placed occasional phone calls and continued
on with his business and other cars, then, he
spied an advertisement for the memorabilia
charity auction prior to the 2017 July All-
Star game in Miami, and listed among the
items were a lot of pieces directly from
Roberto Clemente’s family collection, and
among the things listed was a “1971
Charger.” Needless to say, that stopped all
planned activities for the day.
Randy was soon on the phone to
the auction company, Hunt Auctions out of
Philadelphia, and as he was excitedly
explaining things to him, he tells us they ini-
tially thought he was nuts. The car wasn’t a
’71, it was a ’72, and then came the big
question – “How did you get it into the
country?” And, the very unexpected
answer, “We haven’t yet.” With the auction
about a month away, they had assumed
everything was free and clear and were just
going to have the car shipped across to
Miami, but once they heard of Randy’s dire
problems with the car’s paperwork from
years before, everybody got pretty darn
nervous, and Randy Dye became good bud-
dies with everybody at Hunt Auctions!
Already knowing Vera, yes, she was ready
to sell and needed the money, so, Randy put
everything he had into action and called in
favors from everybody he could find – with
the clock ticking down, they got a transfer-
able title made three days before the auction,
the Charger was loaded into a cargo plane,
and it was flown directly to Miami, arriving
the weekend before the Tuesday auction,
and Randy Dye got to see this long-lost relic
for the first time! Talk about dedication!
After all that, there was no doubt Randy was
going to throw long on this one when the
auction started (we know, wrong sport), and
when the gavel fell, he was the high bidder

through the course of the last several
decades, he’s amassed the largest col-
lection of these virtually impossible-to-
find items. For starters, Chrysler never
produced enough of this stuff as it was
up to the dealerships to buy or order it
– thus, how much bling you wanted in
your new car showroom was directly
dependent upon how much cash you
wanted to spend. Secondly, these
pieces were almost always specific to
one particular model for one particular
year, so when that year was over,
99.5% of the dealers who had this stuff
pitched it out in the trash, because they
knew they’d never need it again. All of
which makes collecting dealership pro-
motional items, specifically, a very chal-
lenging and interesting segment of the
whole Mopar hobby.
At the MCACN event last
November, we were treated to some-
thing Steven’s had for a while that we’d
never seen before; a huge 1971 Dodge
color and upholstery chart. For those of
us who have a hard time looking at little
color chips in the back of a sales
brochure, Dodge offered these very
large 62” long, 42” high color and
upholstery boards, which showed every
color you could get on each specific
model, and furthermore, what color
interiors and types of upholstery you
could get as well! While the big chart
broke everything down by the different
models, showing you precisely what
you could and couldn’t get with any par-
ticular car, from vinyl roofs to upholstery
inserts to the different grade interior
options. This sign originally came from
a dealership in Illinois and Steven
acquired it through a fellow collector a
few months back, with the MCACN
show being this one’s first showing to
the general public. But wait, there’s
more.
Being a mega-collector,
Steven also has the 1970 version of
this same display, only his 1970 version
sits atop a large legged stand, which
doubled as a holder for new car
brochures! That one has been in his
collection for about twenty years and
also came from a dealership in
Chicago, so it seems like people in
Illinois liked to get the big picture on this
stuff. Oddly enough, Steven bought the
1970 example thinking he was buying
just the base, because long ago, some-
body had turned the information-
www.moparcollectorsguide.com 87
 packed insert around so just the white
fiberboard backing was showing.
When he set up his museum in
California, Steven put the stand on
display, tossed the ugly white board
off the stand, because kids had been
using it as a coloring board for years,
and he was actually walking on the
thing for days! Cleaning the place up,
he told a friend to toss the ugly white
board out with the trash, and when he
said, “Why? Looks pretty good to
me,” that was the first time Steven
realized (long after buying it) that the
thing had been reassembled back-
wards long ago and he’d never both-
ered to look at the other side of it!
After cleaning it up, and thanking his
friend for not tossing it in the dump-
ster, it went on display with his mem-
orabilia collection out west and has
been there ever since. And, not to
have an incomplete collection,
Steven also has the 1972 version,
which is a wall-hanging giant sign like
the 1971 version. Dodge only offered
these from 1970 through 1972, so
that makes Steven one of the few
88 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
people around who could possibly
have a complete set, although we
thought it interesting he said, “The
1972 one isn’t hard to find, those are
fairly common.” Granted, we’ve
never seen any of these before, but
for Steven, when there’s more than
half a dozen known to exist, that’s
starting to get fairly commonplace!
For reasons unknown, Chrysler or
Plymouth never offered these giant
charts to their dealers, so this was a
Dodge-only thing and it was a fairly
expensive piece of showroom hard-
ware that took up a lot of real estate,
so we’re quite certain not too many
dealerships ordered these to begin
with.
True to Steven’s nature, he
set up a great display at MCACN with
the color and upholstery chart, a driv-
ing simulator, and a decent amount of
other very cool odds and ends that
most of us have never seen before.
As long as we’ve know him, he loves
to hunt the stuff down and find things
that nobody knew existed before, but
more than that, he likes to show his
prizes off to people who appreciate
what they are. He’s not one of those
guys who locks everything away in a
dark room and speculates it will
appreciate in value. If he enjoys look-
ing at it, Steven figures other Mopar
guys and gals will too. And, in clos-
ing, Steven did point out one funny
thing about these big signs that might
explain why so many Dodges came
painted dark green metallic or Tawny
Gold. While the signs are printed on
a fiberboard-like material, Dodge put
a shiny clear piece of plastic over the
front of them, so everything looks
extremely glossy, almost like all the
colors have been clear coated! So,
one can only speculate, but maybe
this added bit of gloss might explain
some of the odd color combinations
we’ve become familiar with that came
out of the muscle car era? Either that
or some of the people who ordered
new cars during those years were
color blind or simply had no sense of
color coordination! Hey, Dodge was
trying here, but you can only do so
much. X
T he premise was simple
enough. Maybe what was
coming off the assembly line wasn’t
what you wanted, or maybe tinkering
with something nobody else in the
neighborhood owned was the driving
force. Or, perhaps, it was simply a little
back-of-the-book classified ad or story
in Mechanix Illustrated that provided
90 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
the spark. In the 1950s, several firms
created special fiberglass bodies for
sports car use, like the Devin SS seen
here. While handling the apex of some
S-curve was the primary focus of this
market, a few were transformed into
drag cars. This one was the result of a
couple of young hot-rodders in Kansas
who wanted to go fast quick, and they
selected a fuel-injected Mopar wedge
for power. “I worked for a Corvette
rebuilder in Wichita who had built the
bodies for Devin,” recalls Dean
Bontrager today. “When Devin went
out of business, he took his molds and
widened them so they would fit on a
Corvette, though he never built one
himself. In fact, we were the only ones

to ever take a body from that mold.” courtesy Drag Race Relics
Devin was one of many small
firms in this time period building kit cars
or partially assembled do-it-yourself new
cars. Bill Devin was based out of
Lancaster, California, and the kit could be
bought in pieces or as a whole ($995.00,
shipped direct to you). The chassis could
be assembled without welding, using only
a hand drill and screwdriver, according to
the sales literature; it took some 1940
Ford components to complete the steer-
ing. Or, you could buy the body to mount
on your own, perhaps a little safer chas-
sis, either with or without the doors and
lids functional. There was even a chart to
figure out how to measure the correct
mounting points to examples like your
own stripped-down Volkswagen or
Porsche chassis. As Bontrager noted,
when the company went out of business,
the molds were in Kansas. That was in

www.moparcollectorsguide.com 91

1963. “You know, Jay Wilbeck and I
graduated from high school in 1963 and
we went to Green Valley, Texas to the
AHRA Nationals,” says Bontrager. “A
couple of our older friends had a car
they were running, and we went down
to see that. On our drive back, we
decided we were going to build a race
car. His dad owned a big welding shop
and had all these tools, and he let us
use a two-car garage as our race shop.
We worked there every night, and our
friends would come by, and we put that
car together in a few months. We drank
a lot of beer and had a lot of fun. I
wouldn’t have missed it for the world.”
That was late in the year. The
plan was to race the Devin at some of
the region’s race tracks, such as Grand
92 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
Bend. Starting with common sense
and ingenuity, a lot of it was done by
loosely following the published informa-
tion on how to create a chassis. At the
time, Bontrager was part owner of a
gas station in South Hutchinson, and
Wilbeck was in college at Wichita State
University studying business. They
estimated it took about $4,000 (about
the cost of a new Corvette) and 4,000
hours to put the car into race-ready
form, and they had to take a loan out to
buy the drive line, selecting a Plymouth
Max Wedge for power. “We were
Chevy-oriented, but the Chrysler had
the most horsepower for the best
price,” he remembers. “We found a
Plymouth that had been wrecked and
took the engine and transmission out. I
think the real reason that car stayed
around was because of that Mopar
motor in there. If we had put a
Chevrolet motor in, I think it would be
long gone. Nobody would’ve ever
heard of it. People would buy the car
even without the engine, and there
were pictures of the injected Plymouth
down in there, and that gave the car a
lot of interest. We never raced it except
those couple of years, and once we
were both in the military reserves, we
sold the car. If there’s anything I would
have done differently, I wish we had
went to alcohol and stepped it up to go
faster. Hey, we didn’t have any money!
We were just kids!”
For power, they had a real
1963 426” Max Wedge - a pretty stout
race ‘plant right from the factory, and
capable of running eleven-second
quarters tucked into a hybrid that bare-
ly topped the weight of a Volkswagen!
Since the car would be racing in a
gasser-type environment, they
removed the cross ram and installed a set of short Hilborn
fuel injectors, without stacks, and angled inward so they
could fit under the flip-style front end. Small openings
allowed air into the injectors, and homemade headers came
straight off the engine, bent downward, then curved again to
exit from the sides of the car just ahead of the door frame as
four single pipes. The accompanying TorqueFlite bought
with the engine went in behind this, with a late 1950’s GM
banjo-style differential holding 4.56 gearing out back. The
suspension used coil-over shocks and a lightened-and-
bowed straight front axle sourced from something probably
built before World War II. The car was painted in a mustard-
yellow with red steel rims, outfitted with an aftermarket
steering wheel, and a crazy-shaped gas pedal. The Devin
was raced as time and funds allowed, and both guys drove
it on occasion, flipping a coin to see who got to be the pilot.
There was a humorous local news article where the two
men noted that, although they had won fifteen of the twen-

ty-five events they’d entered, the car

ate money. It ended with Wilbeck wist-
fully noting why neither was married.
“We can’t afford it. We’ve been sup-
porting the car!”
Dean recalls, “A friend of ours
bought it, and he sold it to somebody
he knew, and that guy sold the engine
and transmission out of it. It ended up
in Manhattan (Kansas), then toward
Chicago. Every time it sold, the people
ended up getting my name, and I’ve
probably talked to everybody who’s
ever owned that thing! They all talked
about what they would do to fix it, and
I got to the point of just saying, ‘Yeah,
right!’ So, Clark Rand was the one
who actually restored it. Pretty cool,
considering it was just a project a cou-
ple of kids built when they were eight-
een-years-old.” Thankfully, I got the
chance to sit down and talk to Clark
about the unique Devin, shortly before
he lost his battle with cancer in
February 2018.
Several years ago, Clark Rand,

www.moparcollectorsguide.com 95
who had eclectic tastes in terms of his
race car collection, was able to buy the
Devin, also being intrigued by the uti-
lization of the Max Wedge engine. It
was found minus the engine and show-
ing the ravages of outdoor storage.
However, for the guy who has every-
thing from a world championship Sox &
Martin Barracuda to what is likely the
only Valiant-bodied flip-top funny car in
existence, it was a perfect fit. “Our goal
as collectors has always been to locate
the best cars that in some way have
‘unique’ history and unquestioned
provenance,” Clark told me. “When I
saw the ad for the Devin and did some
research, I was blown away by the
backstory that a couple of high school
students could’ve had the vision to
design and build a competitive drag car
like this. The other element that made
this restoration special was that both
original owners were eager to help on
the restoration. So, I sent images to
Adam and asked for his thoughts about
the restoration, and once he heard the
story, he was in.” Clark then added,
“It’s not difficult to become attached to
race cars, but it’s very special when you
get emotional seeing the faces of the
original owners light up when they see
their car returned to ‘as raced’ condition
some fifty years later. The cars are
always cool, but it’s the people that
contributed to the history of the car that
are the stars.”
We will tell you, this thing is a
96 MOPAR COLLECTOR’S GUIDE
he-man ride! Most of the driveline is
exposed, and the safety equipment
back then was an old helmet, good
jeans, and a single hoop-type roll bar
over the cockpit. In its “as-found” con-
dition, there was nowhere to go but up.
Adam Engelhart, who did a lot of
Clark’s cars, jumped right in. “How was
it? Horrible. It was bad, but complete-
ly usable,” says Engelhart with a laugh.
“No motor or transmission, but every-
thing else was there, all the cool parts.
Like, they custom-cut those rims and
added a wide section to them to fit a
bigger tire on them. These guys actu-
ally welded up their own chassis; the
whole thing was well-thought-out and
constructed. The chassis is made of
square channel steel and was nicely
done for a couple of kids. Hey, some-
body once found a Devin with a Ferrari
chassis under it! Some of the bodies
that came from these independent
builders were ugly; the Devin was not a
bad-looking design.”
Adam’s company, AAA
Restorations in Minnesota, has done a
lot of cars, many to OEM condition, but
he likes the oddball stuff Clank found,
which has included a Cheetah funny
car once raced in B/Altered, powered
by a rare Chevy all-aluminum Can-Am
engine, and an in-house designed (and
built) Logghe sports car model recently
found in Detroit. “I love working on this
stuff. It has its own character and I
enjoy fabricating stuff. I think it’s a neat
car and turned out great. Some people
don’t understand it; the yellow paint and
orange wheels. You either love it or
hate it. We took it to a car show here in
Minnesota and it won everything,
including best of show. I enjoy the
research and fabrication a lot more
than doing an OEM-level restoration.”
He and Clark wanted it to be right, and
a real 1963 Max Wedge was located
and fitted with the Hilborn injection.
The motor mounts had been modified
for a different engine, so they were
reworked, and Adam recreated the
headers using the photos that still exist
of the car. The transmission is shifted
by a homemade push-button adaptor
mounted to the floor, and the original
rear end that was still in the car, simply
needed freshening. The body hadn’t
delaminated, but did have cuts and
chunks missing, so that was rebuilt,
including the unique hood openings. A
Crosley radiator, like the original car
used, was sourced and installed. Adam
made a new cover for the single seat
and added a driveshaft loop. He also
rebuilt the brakes, which showed signs
of serious modifications. “Those brake
drums, Dean says they ruined every
drill bit that Jay’s dad owned drilling
holes in those things! In fact, that yel-
low paint they used on the exterior
came from a local grocery store called
Dillon’s, and I’m not sure it was bought
or ‘borrowed.’”
Once restored, the car
debuted at Grand Bend, Kansas, and
toured down to South Hutchinson, where
the project had begun, and then it became
a treasured part of the collection maintained
by Clark and his wife, Colleen. The old
shop where the car was built is still there,
and Jay Wilbeck now owns a successful
New Holland Ford tractor franchise, but
never got the racing bug seriously again.
For Dean Bontrager, the “Devin Wedge”
started what became a lifelong celebration
of speed as a hobby, though he is now
retired from the powder coating business.
“After drag racing, I worked with
some other guys and we ran auto cross in
SCCA with a Corvette, and even won a
Corvette-only race at Daytona’s race
course in 1976. Then I got into racing
boats, some dirt cars, then Sprint cars in
the 1990’s and 2000’s. Today, I’m messing
with a couple of guys who are racing a nitro-
class B/Modified Bonneville roadster. If it
went fast and made noise, I had to be
involved!” X

 T
his largely original ’70 Challenger
T/A we saw at Mopars in the
Park, owned by Brian Antony,
was quite the topic of conversa-
tion. The bright green Challenger
still sports its original paint and a
lot of its original components, but, Brian
went with a modern battery for the car. As
a poke at OE correctness, he found a way
to have those all-important yellow-colored
caps atop the battery by taking some plas-
tic Moutain Dew bottle caps and gluing
them onto his battery! This simple tongue-
in-cheek trick went unoticed by many who
passed the car over the weekend. What
started out as a joke has turned into quite
the conversation starter. Sometimes, you
just got to think outside the box, and it
never hurts to have a hot glue gun handy
somewhere in the garage! X
