Daryl, how about an update from the time you have knowledge of until now. I know its a rehash but for the late comers and newcomers it might shake a cloud of dust out of a memory somewhere. |
So, here's the latest.
Great idea Charlie, but, I've been requested to do an article on my car for a book that will be coming out named "Lost Muscle Cars" through Car Tech Books by fellow member here Wes Eisenschenk including some pics from Geoff Stunkard.

It will include the complete history, as I know it, from day 1 to present. A lot of the info will of course be coming from this thread, & The Manhattan Speed Parts thread where Paul C. literally blew me away in his fact finding mission. Theres still a lot of questions that I need to be answered to fill in some of the blanks, but I'm very confident we've got the right car. Now, we gotta fiqure out why this car just sort of fell off the planet from the late 60's till Lou Vignona's documented ownership in the early 80's.
So, I don't want to take anything away from that article. Stay tuned folks, I'll keep you updated on the status on that book
On a little different venue, I'm going to throw a plug in here for a new book being released this July by the walking Hemi encyclopedia hisself Geoff Stunkard. It will be titled HEMI: A History of Chrysler's Iconic V-8 in Competition. Geoff asked me to have some input on the 68 Super Stock Hemi Program, so needless to say I was honored to help him out in a small way in this project.
Here's a link to the facebook page that Geoff is teasing us with till it hits the news stands: If you don't facebook, it's a public page, & you can still view it. Geoff has spent a lot of time researching for this & will no doubt be the best chronicle of the iconic Hemi to date.

Geoff is also now in the planning stages of doing a book on the Dick Landy story, so keep your eyes open for that one. I know it'll be top shelf material !!!!!!!!
