Whats the history on the Challenger?
The pics you posted are SS/DA cars not ProStock.
The Motor wheel Spyders were used by alot of Stock class racers and some used on Early ProStocks. I heard Motor Wheel gave the wheels to racers? The other wheels are Motor Wheel Fleas. Rear wheels were called Fly's, front/Fleas. They were the lightest wheel you could get back in the day. VERY hard to come by now days, and when you do they are expensive. Those Mag Spyders are probably more rare then Fly's... You also saw more Spyders on cars like Oldsmobiles. Not too often on Mopars.

1) Hahn/Norwood 70 Hemi Cuda was rolled. 2) The 71 Cuda has been found along with the original motor, but I haven't heard anything about since. Would love to hear more about it. http://www.bobnorwood.com/Norwood%20Story.htmNorwood's passion for automobiles started at a young age. Bob Norwood began his racing career at age 13, driving a 1946 Ford Coupe, in Kansas where he competed in his first drag race. He continued drag racing while in high school, driving a six cylinder GMC G-Gas Coupe and later an A-Sports Corvette. After graduation Anderson Motors, a Chrysler dealer, sponsored Norwood requiring him to "get rid of the Corvette." Instead, they provided an altered wheel base funny car, an AFX Hemi Plymouth, following with three Hahn SS/DA Hemi-Cuda's. In 1971 he raced superstocks in a Hemi-Cuda reached number two in the world A/FC point standings. Norwood raced an AA/FC with Dale Armstrong and eventually moved to race the Lone Star Flyer, a BB/FC car.
