SS,

I think you are talking about his 77 lemans fits M,N,O/sa .. Bob, also has a 62 Grand Prix he runs in K/SA ... I don't think it fits in O/SA ??
I am sure Bob will let us know ? I think it's a mis-print on his other car, don't know about HP ratings ?

the motor in the '62 is the tri-power 389, rated at 318/348 and has been defactored to 275. I believe it has to be in a wagon to make O/SA. Ronnie Sanders and I were discussng this a while ago, and his old wagon ('61) fit in O/SA!

Bob is a great guy and one I respect. He is a pleasure to talk too. Man, the stories he has could fill a book.....

Both cars are very cool, but I'm partial to the '62!

Hey guys thanks for the interest! Previous posts are correct about the 2 cars. They don't always read the tech cards in the tower and put the last car's info on the present class. The 77 lemans can run in O/SA @ 40070 lbs. (for now) and the 62 can run in K @ 3745 lbs. Thanks Wade. Your car boggles the mind!! Bob Michael.

S/S racer Tom Sheehan took this pic at last year's Indy LODRS race.

Love this car, and any odd or rare cars (great pic, since it pits a pair of rarer cars against each other, with Jerry Bennett's D/SA '62 Plymouth D/SA dual-carb car)
