This is the sad history of A990 Plymouth no. 32.

The car was delivered to Holiday Chrysler/ Plymouth in Edgewater NJ, without a designated buyer and it sat in the showroom for months until racing season came around in 1965. The car was not bought with the intention of racing it.

At the time we all raced at Atco three times a week, fri., sat. and sun. While we all had stockers there were three guys in Edgewater township that campaigned a dragster with a 409 in it. These guys bought no. 32, drove it on the street for a couple of weeks and then took the engine out for their dragster and pushed the car out on the street in front of the house and that's where it stayed for over a year and was still there when I left for college.

It was listed for sale in an east coast car and parts magazine but I don't know it's destiny, I never went back to NJ...anyone have any ideas?
