1964 S/SA National Record Setter with a Hemi - Page 6

I dont want to steal the post and have enjoyed reading these. I think I will have some fun with this post. Most of the people and some of the cars referred to in this post will be at the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame in Henderson in October. At the Friday night bench racing session, I will get the Ramchargers, Bud, Bonner and any others included, an kinda shake their memory and take some notes. This kind of thing is always fun when a lot of the people there each year are the designers and builders of the history of the sport of drag racing.

If you are there for the Saturday event and happen to see a group of old racers around and under a old race car kinda move in and listen. A lot of old cars show up there for old racer, builders and owners to try to identify who built an raced a particular car for documentation.

Didn't one of the 'Candymatic' cars end up cruising the streets of
Manhattan in 64', with a Chrysler-Performance rep looking to
make some noise 'sales and marketing idea'

It wasn't Jim Thorton was it.....???

I remember seeing that old article, but the car was a 1964 Dodge Stage III hardtop model.

CARS Magazine, I think Chris Barnes and myself need to start this up again. He can be the editor and I'll be the test driver. Somebody give me a CJ to test for week...............

CARS MAGAZINE, writer Marty Schorr got to test drive the new
1964 Dodge Ramchargers 426 Stage III 'Candymatic' in Manhattan.

He got to test drive it for a week or so,,,,,,,cruising Woodhaven Blvd. in Queens.
The car was picked up at the Dodge Service Headquarters in Manhattan.
