75 Mopar Missle Wire Car
It is now official and posted on the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion web site, the 71 Motown Missle Challenger and the 75 Mopar Missle Duster, the "wire car", are scheduled to be in Henderson, NC this October for the 2012 East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame Reunion. The cars and the racers that will be there this year will make this another big event with lots of suprises. Many returning cars and racer and some that have never been there. If you have never been here go to the website and on the right you will see some buttons. Tag news archives and look at the videos from the last two years.

Re: 75 Mopar Missle Wire Car
Always loved that car. I know I'm not just real bright, been trying to figure this out on my own, but what do you mean "wire car"?

http://www.allpar.com/racing/missile/wire-car.html Don's rides were always ahead of their time, I attended the 1970 Gators and on the way into town I stopped at a little 2 stall garage/gas station (back then was there any other kind?) and inside sat the original Duster Mopar Missle. They had most of the panels out of it and even then they had wires running to hubs and everywhere else you can think of. Will never forget it, at 5:00 AM they were thrashing away. Very cool...

Re: 75 Mopar Missle Wire Car
The "wire car" Duster was restored last year at a local shop here in Orange
County, The 401K Hot Rod Shop in Anaheim. I got to see it in it's early stages of restoration. It got it's name from the wire cables X'ing across the back of the body to add stiffness to the chassis/body.
