Lets deal with the RO23 -

It ran SS/B for most of 67.

It ran SS/D at 68 Winters - dd it run at all at the 68 Nats?

And what class did tje RO23s run in 69, SS/D or SS/E...I have results lists showing both....hence my confusion����

ussue

The car that was running SS/D in '68 at the Winters was the converted 383 car. They had a twin scooped hood on it at Indy that year. See attached from both races.


They were still flopping between classes in '69 with trim/hood changes.

Gotcha. No wonder the results lists don’t make sense!

I have a couple of pics with Stricklers name on the door, was this for the 68 Nats?

Thank you! That concludes my investigation

There’s a guy on FB coming to the same wrong conclusions as me - I’ll precis your explanation and fill him in.

Yes...the 440 car. White interior, GTX emblem on the fender.

Frank...I'm a nobody in the grand scheme of all things Mopar. I just enjoy the history of Chrysler Racing, and searching for lost race cars. While I have done an extensive amount of research on '67 cars, my heart is with the '64 and '65 cars. The information I provided in this post is easily found across the web, especially if you search this particular forum. You just have to put the pieces of the puzzle together (dating photos, events, etc). I'm not claiming to be the end all expert on this, nor will I ever, because there's too many people that are gone now who could fill in blanks.

Steve, do you use Facebook at all? I’ve compiled a couple of lists over time, of the A864 and A990 cars, original drivers and owners.

Have you seen them?
