It was my first Mopar and I really liked it....Unfortunatley other SS/IA Camaros had me covered by 3 tenths....SO, the following year switched to a 1961 Dodge Phoenix convertible. That moved me into SS/KA and only 2 tenths short of being competitive. I didn`t stray to far from local tracks back then. The Phoenix was bright red with a white top and the Pioneer was deep purple.. wish I had better pictures of them. Have always been fond of odd combos as Billy can attest to, lol

Bigger is Better.
I have never seen a Phoenix convertible!
Cool pics. Never gave racing one of these a serious thought.
My 318 2bbl hardtop was a fun ride that never ceased to get a "What the # # # # is that?"
