Museum (Don) indicated the Hemi Coronet was a U.S. Treasury car out back. Maybe Bill's truck and the clone will pop up again?

The many stories were so intertwined and interesting. The sport was changing so fast. I would build up several engine versions, play Jay Howell ( supercharged, injected,... Dual quad) and change them at will. So the early photos you found may be from the initial Cecil run. Wow! We crashed...

Post #43 asked about the drive shaft. The Dart Charger by Branster was built with the same sub frame as the the LRW. At one point it was direct coupled - trans output to differential? Bill Golden is said to have given a thumbs down to Garlits' '65 rear Hemi Dart version prior to crash...

The 1960s found drag racing exploding in a number of directions. From hot stockers out of Detroit to the gasser wars to streamlined dragsters, there is good reason why the sixties have and always will be considered the sport’s Golden Age. And few vehicles that came out of that fertile era could...

Jimmy first went to work for Ted Spehar in 1965. Ted owned an old Texaco station on Maple a couple blocks west of Adams in Birmingham. Besides accumulating a brisk neighborhood business, Ted had become acquainted with Dick Branstner. I used to see the ’64 Color Me Gone Dodge sitting out in front...
