sorry i missed seeing this at the drags at fitchburg airport last year,

VERY NICE!

 

Like a dummy

 

Once a dummy,always a dummy!!

 

To all that post pictures and stories here, I thank you

I've always been a huge fan of the early Stock and Super Stock class cars from the early days and really want to build one some day.
But for now, I just build them in a,,,, slightly smaller size. There are days I wonder if it's any cheaper though. Some of these old model kits can get expensive.

Thanks again for the great reading.

 

I love the '61 Dodge. I have a 1961 Dodge Pioneer D-500. 361-V8 with a manual three-on-the-tree...

Thank You!

 

Put new Hoosiers on the rear of my 63 the other day and drove it about 100 miles cruisin around going over my brothers place. I plan to hit the track in May and see how good these tires will hook. So many awesome cars in this thread. Ron

I think some of the lyrics are incorrect.

 

Here is an ad on page 1 of the December 1959 Motor Trend for the Plymouth Sonoramic. FWIW it says "the first ram induction engine in a production car!"

The same issue has a 2500 mile Detroit to LA road test of a D-500 383 ram induction Dodge Dart (not the compact Dart).

So that would them both 1960 Model year

 

My grandfather's old 63. Original Max wedge 426 stage II. raced at us30, oswego and ampetheater. Bought at Mr norms grand spaulding dodge

 

Was this back in the late '70's or early '80's ? I dig the '63's

 

I would guess this shot is from 64 based on the companion photos you have on post #764. On the pic it looks like this car is in front of the Missile. Love your pics!!!

 

My posted date says 1965, taken off the notes I have on the back of my photos. I could have waited till the new year to get the film developed or maybe it was actually shot in early 1965. Powers was a regular at the track. Remember, Calif weather allowed racing almost all year long and Fremont often was open in Dec and Jan, except for the holidays. I was a regular attendee @ both Fremont & Half Moon Bay between 1962 and 1966 when I moved out of the area. I rarely took a camera - usually only when I had some shots left over from family shoots etc. and needed to use up the rest of the film. Think I'm kicking myself over that 50 years later? You bet.

 

The part that made me think that is the shot of the Missile V is from 64 and the cars in the background are lined up exactly the same as the horizontal shot of Powers car in the pic above.
