Bob Tarozzi here. The designer, builder, test driver and production captain. of the infamous 1968 Chrysler Hemi A Body.I just wanted to let you all know that I have just put up my website which unashamefully promotes my memoir. Check it out and it may answer some questions, on the other hand you might just have to wait for the book. I'm a slow typist. Meanwhile I'll be glad to answer any questions if I can remeber. After all it was 47 years ago, yea 47!!

BTW with the recent passing of my old boss and long time friend Tom M. Hoover I am the last living body that helped create that ever lasting testimony to applied horsepower. Hope to here from ya.

Read you work, in Mopar Action. You have one hell, of a resume!. Hopefully, you're still enjoying your sport bike riding/racing. Thank You (!) for the S/S spring research. Enjoy your stay,"Turk".
 
Wow! Welcome. Thanks for the great work 47 years ago on our a-bodies.
I am not normally one to be fanatical or anything but you sir are a hero for many
of us here that have a passon for the hemi superstocks. Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes.
 
:thumbup: Welcome Bob & happy to have you on board with our group here....
 
Welcome Bob. We bow to your awesome Moparness.
 
Welcome and just keep typing everything you can remember we want to read it all. It will be a joy and I am sure a learning experience for us all.
 
Bob, great to see you here sharing info. I've met you few times at Willow Springs. I have a 68 Barracuda coupe/notchback out there.

At Spring Fling Speed Festival at Willow Springs I always try to ask you questions. It's really fascinating. Your design career has impacted many different forms of Motorsports and beyond. Motorcycle cylinder heads, Top Fuel heads, Top Fuel aluminum blocks, Trans Am, Nascar, Super Stock, Can Am, and more that I can't remember or you were too humble to mention.

Bob still fits into his AAR team shirt from 45 years ago. He also races Motorcycles and competes in triathalons, 5K and 10K runs.

great hearing this, went to a drag seminar in ok city one time. Tom was a smart dude , very nice, informative, and down to earth guy. really impressed me as a young man.
 
we hunger for he details of that fascinating time . we thank you for the contributions you have made to make our hobby what it is!!
 
Thanks one and all. That was an amazing response. You guys must be tetered to this forum. I think I need to get a new hat (re autoxcuda photo). I'll try to update you guys once n a while. Meanwhile do check out my website I plan on publishing short excerpts from my book every month or two. They won't all be on the cuda but now that I've peaked your interest I'll one on them up there soon. But be forwarned most of the drag cuda (don't forget there was a trans am) was published in Mopar Action. ciao
 
Welcome Sir. Thank you for all your hard work and contributions to what helped make Mopar what it is today!
