4---Looks like from Moparts editing, you'll have to guess the name of the car unless you already know it. Funny, it's not actually a dirty word, but I suppose it could be construed as one with the way the government is these days. That's a hint in itself...

Barry and Mike from Hamtramck Registry have opened a new photo section. The majority of these photos are never seen before photos of the Mopar Missile. You all are cordially invited to stop in and take a look. Missile Historical photos are my passion, if you have any, let me know. I will scan them to a disc and return the disc and photo to you, FREE. All I require is that I be allowed to put them on the photo section and share them with the rest of the Mopar Fanatics.

The AWB and standard wheelbase orange and white Pee Wee Wallace cars are two seperate cars. I've seen a photo of the two cars setting side by side. If I find it, I'll post it. I always thought they were the same car also. The lettering is slightly different also.

I bought a 1968 Plymouth Sports Satellite when I returned from Viet Nam in 1968. Lucky because it was a 383 CI 330 HP 4 speed car and with the weight to HP factor fell in F/Stock (10.53) factor. The Roadrunners with the same engine fell in E/Stock and had to spot me .1 running on National records. The rule book at the time said the cam had to have stock lift, duration and overlap. The duration was not changed on the blueprint cams. The acceleration ramps were steeper but the lift duration and overlap remained the same. The blueprinted engines in 1968 could be bored .030. Prior to '68 they could be bored .060. Were the engines stock. Hardly, but then we didn't know (at least I didn't) about acid porting heads and intakes like is done now. The car I had was light weight (3474.9 lbs.) and had to have at least 7 gallons of gas when weighed to make legal weight. I ran a best of 12.60 on Carmen Rotunda's 12.73 national record. A 12.79 for an E/Stock Automatic car was probably about average and I don't think was close to the record in '69. I can look out the window of my office right now and see Phil Nichols. He was the owner/driver/mechanic on Shay Nichols' (ex-wife) car.

I have always liked even the 'plain-jane' Mopar stockers circa say 66-69, 383, 440 and smallblock versions, and the street Hemi A/stockers of same time frame. Always thought Jere Stahl probably had one of the most dominant cars of the era with his 66 Hemi Belve, but don't ever see much about that one. Won nearly every race it ever ran. Stahl's SS/B Belve circa 67-68 was also a real stormer for awhile. From ETs I've seen on the SS/B car, it was running 2-3 tenths faster than anyone else for a good portion of that year. I'll post a couple pics of the cars I'm speaking of if I have any.

Stahl SS/B-I've read this car was running 10.30s right off the trailer(in '68) when virtually everyone else was in the 10.60s. Then Stahl inexplicably quit, til 70 coming back for PS. Don't know how true that is.

2-Stahl SS/B

How about Doug Kahl's C/SA 62?

Another angle

Good choice Bob. Pre 70 car and it's got a 383. I've read that was a winning car for many years. Ted Spehar built that one also I see. I found the Stahl SS/B pics, but for some reason cannot find even one of the dominant '66 Street Hemi Belve.

And here is a more recent pic at a show

I like those pic's!!!

I'm not. The other pic's are cool and I don't disapprove. I just wanted to see something of the early years. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
