Anyone have anymore info or stats on these converted Hemi A-body race cars.

In a conversation with Dick, the 70 car was brought up, but I really don't know the answer to it. Dick told me he converted the 68 stick car. He said he remembered the nightmare his bodyman had getting the 70 tail fitting after he cut the 68 off. The front was all bolt on.
There are holes in that theory tho, which I can't explain. He is known to have owned only 2 original LO cars when new. One a stick, one an auto. Both cars are documented today by Dick, & have been restored. But yet, if you look at the Car Craft All Star Decal on the side glass, this is a decal from 1968.
I believe he cut up a 68 car, but what car did he cut????

Also a little known fact was that Landy was known for buying other used race cars after they used them up or moved on to something newer...so did he buy someones old car that also had the Car Craft decals on the windows, if so who's? And Bob Lambeck also raced a few Hemi A-bodies himself, he had a couple of 68 Hemi Darts & Barracuda's over the years, not sure but maybe it was one of his old rides...have you talked to him lately.
