It'll probably be the slowest car Big Daddy has driven since the 1950's!
Probably the slowest Mopar race car he's had, As far as I know the last non-mopar rail he had was running low 13's with a flathead ford and his street car was quicker, it was a 39-40 ford with an early hemi.

I'd rather see him in that Challenger than getting back in a fuel car. The challey is fast enough for him at his age...what is he like 79 or something?

Yeah around there- my old machinist is 75 and a few years younger than Garlits.

So my friend calls me this morning from Carlisle. He is there with his twin sons (6 or 7 years i think)and they see the Garlits car with him there. Anyways, his one son has mild autism (which makes his mind work in ways no one can understand--quite brilliantly actually), and can be a riot sometimes by just being himself and not knowing it---this was one of those times.... My friends son Chris "hey, nice car" Garlits "thank you" Chris "smells to new---you drag race?" Garlits "yes, i drag race"--now looking a bit bewildered Chris --now looking at the car shaking his head back and forth , " well, it just looks to new " and walks off. My friend had all he could do to burst out laughing. I know i did when he called and told me Garlits Super stock Challenger $100k Trip to carlisle $1k Little kid poking fun at Garlits unknowingly--priceless
Outcast Dodge guy.
