Hi all
I am what you call a "Lurker" and do not post. Been a member for quite a wile, but this thread brought me out. I have never been fortunate enough to own a race car. So I do not post on here. What I am is a very big FAN of Sportsman racers. I am also a model car builder and I use places like this to gather my reference material to build my models as accurate as possible. Something you guys should know about us model builders. We research the heck out of the subject matter we want to build and you find that the model car boards have some of the most knowledgeable race car historians anywhere. We also are collectors of huge magazine collections. Well I just happen to be a very big, long time fan of the SS/AH class cars and the history of the LO-23 and BO-29 cars
Well, with that said. I got on here today and found this post. I got quite excited to find that the car that starter of this thread owns is a car I want to build a model of. Have wanted to for many years. All because of this magazine that "Liteweight" needs to get a hold of. The Dec 89 issue of MOPAR Action. That is your car on the cover. This issue has all of the Photos and stories that were in the Nov. 68 issue of Cars Magazine with the photos that Charlie took when he picked up the car.
I hope I am not out of line here and maybe you all might already know about this magazine. If not. I have seen it many times listed on E-bay.
Liteweight
I would love to get in touch with you at a later time about getting more info on your car. Like I said. I have wanted to do a 1/25th scale model of your car for years, and Revell Model Company is about to make that much easier in their 2010 kit line up with the issue of a 1/25th scale model car kit of a LO-23 factory Hurst built 68 Hemi Dart.
I love this board and especially all of the photos that are post. Great stuff for a guy like me that cannot build the real thing so I build little models of all kinds of Sportsman Drag Cars.
Thanks
Matt
