To add a little sound to the pics go to Hemi Fred's website: Hemi Fred. My buddy and I convinced Roy Hill to duct tape a tape recorder inside his colt at Capitol Raceway in the late 70's/early 80's (can't remember exact date). Love that Southern accent. Enjoy.

Stewart, did you change the rear spoiler from the two split spoilers to the one long one? That other Colt you sent out the other day had the two small spoilers. Was it an S&M Colt too? Didn't Logghe build those, or was that another Colt? I like the first Colts better than the later ones.

My Colt (Sox&Martin Logghe Car) was originally built with a 4 speed - but very quickly went to a Lenco (picture9)- as for the spoiler, it was always a long across trunk type

I was Riffles Colt, then Paul Marcum owned it then Rod Gartin. After Rod sold it I'm not sure where it went. I have a picture of the car when Rod owned it on my wall.

Stewart,
The one that 300by500 is talking about is the one Rod Gartin use to own. The picture is identical except the picture I have doesn't have the Dodge decal on the door. But the hood scoop decals and the black stripe is exactly the same, along with the maroon headlights. According to Rod that car was Riffels car. He and Paul Marcum (who bought the car off the Rod Shop) both live in the Columbus area.
Is the black car in Va. The same car? If not does anyone know where that car went?

Well, it's already painted black. That would save you a few bucks. I thought you had $$$$, not like me checking the ground for  that no one would pick up. When I was a kid I'd do well finding coins in pay phones. Hard to find those these days.

Was that picture taken at MCIR in Larue Ohio? I know the family that owns that duster. They still have it, just sitting though. Been a long time since it went down the 1/4.
Yep. It was taken at Marion County back in the 1980's.
If I remember correctly, it was taken on the day when Jeg Coughlin Jr. was racing their pit-bike in the motorcycle class. He dialed it in at 25 seconds flat, and he would get to the finish line in time to stop at the lights, pick up the front wheel of the pit bike, and drop in into the lights at just the right time to win. The next week they had a new rule where there was a minimum E.T. for the motorcycle class! LOL!
Sucks that the "Mounts Mopar" is just sitting around...

You're right, it's the car Rod Gartin later owned. I'd like to know where it is, too!

Good afternoon, I have a photo of my Black Colt, doing a burnout. I do not remember where it came from but on the bottom of the photo is this --- "WADE-0-LDIES" Is Wade a member here, or does anyone know how to get in touch with him.
Thanks Stewart
Stewart, I've seen him advertise some old photo's for sale on ebay in the past, but here are some from his personal photo album: WADE-O-LDIES.

Rod owned it only briefly from what I remember. The last I heard it's still in Columbus but a chevy guy owns it. I tried to get it off him 3 years ago but gave up. I passed the information on to Reed but he didn't have any luck either from what he told me.
Fred
oh yeah...love the picture of "MOUNTS MOPAR" too. I was wondering what happened to it.

Who had the Colt that was on the cover of Hot Rod or Car Craft circa 1971? All I can recall it was black with blue trim and it was one of the first Hemi Colts or might have been the first.
Zorian must have taken a liking to Colts after Stewart. They must be addictive.

Hey, I can answer that! The Rod Shop Colt was used in 1974, with Jim Thompson driving, to test the prototype W2 heads. This program was parallel to Don Carlton's testing in the "yellow" car. The Colt ran a best of 9.12, as I recall, at about 100 lbs under the NHRA Pro Stock weight. There was alot more potential in the heads, but they were breaking blocks as the HP went up. The results of the Carlton and Rod Shop testing is what got Chrysler (slowly) started on developing the 340 race block which finally showed up about the time Glidden moved over to Mopar and ran the successful Arrow.
As for Desantis and Crider, they were trying to make a go of it with T/A type heads. As I recall, they only ran the car for a partial year, breaking alot of parts and finally selling the car to Roy Hill who put a Hemi in and did real well in IHRA Pro Stock in 1976 with it. He also ran his Duster in NHRA Pro Stock that same year.
Hope that helps!
Mark

I thought Hill had a Plymouth Arrow? I don't remember any Colt he had. I sort of remember an article in HR or Carmaro Craft about some W2 prototype heads that were welded up. Probably Mullins developed but I don't remember much about the article.

I posted a photo Roy Hill's Colt earlier but you must have missed it, here it is again.
Also curious about any updates on any other small block & Hemi Colt's that other people are currently working on.

Thanks for showing them again!
Can I respond when I get down to St. Pete in a month or so?
