Don,
Thanks for posting. NICE RIDE........
I'll meet ya' this summer,,,
Saw the car at Norwalk last year,,,but didnt get a chance to get a good look at it....
Paint/graphics area very cool......

Doing a new motor for my 65', nothing fancy,,,but will eventually step it up quite a bit, might throw a 500 stroker/440-1 together at some point,,,then pull out the stops with a 540...we'll see,,,,

Currently running 10.26 @ 130 with a 440 E head motor..
Caltracs as well,,,but no big wheel stands,,,1.40-42 60'

Charger is a 69, RT/SE 4 speed, 496 stroker, pump gas, solid cam, E heads, "street" car......

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, That Charger is bad azz! I love the matte black stripe on a black car. Of course I am a little partial.

Here is a pic sent to me by Jack Eakin, he told me that his wife came up with the name and paint scheme for the Brawler. It was painted in the winter of 75-76 by Daves Customs in Mentor Ohio. Jack also told me that it won the Cleveland Autorama in 76. I haven't been able to find anything on that yet. Jack took the car to Florida in late 76. It was bought by Ron Moss in 77 in this picture. In 1979 it was bought by Dave Kirby "Biggy" from Quaker. I'm not sure who owned before Ben Bertok but Ben sold the car to the guy I bought it off of and his name was John Lorent. If anybody has more history I'd be glad to hear it.
Thanks
Donny
