Last non Mopar we had was a 67 Nova with a 427 Chev in A/MP. We had the car and were going to Indy anyway about the same time we signed the franchise agreement, so we wrote "Southland Dodge" on the side. We won A/MP in 68 beating Hubert Platt in one of the factory Fords, and when the write up came it had a Hemi. After that, we have had so many cars, I would need beverages to try to remember them all.

LOL....Great story Jeff. I was there in 68 and I vagely remember seeing your car. That was a "Semi-Hemi" under the hood. You were a lot younger then.....heh heh.
