The car was the original Barnett Hemi PS from Atlanta, Ga.....Dom bought it from them and raced it in IHRA Top Sportsman with some decent success. He sold the car to someone in the midwest...I think Illinois or Wisconsin back in the early eighties...the last we knew it was racing brackets out there. Haven't seen or heard from it for years. I can't be sure...but it sure looks like it. "Old age and treachery trumps youth and enthusiasm, every time!" East Central Director / Chrysler Power Magazine www.reasbeckracing.webs.com

Sixpack....thats the car....it was built in 74 by a guy named Hans Anderson in Ohio....he ran the car with a HEMI and went 8.40's back then... ....talk about balls!! The car was all gold like you have in the pic....Hans was quite the builder and everything had to be ultralight....there is allot of titanium threwout the front end...steering rack/shaft/spindles/ect.....then he hand fabricated the rear end with aluminum and that uses a aluminum Mickey Thompson 8 3/4 drop out.....450 HP now with the small 390 carb and the car goes easy 10.40's with ez leave on 2step and 6000 shift on pump gas.... I still talk with Hans in Ohio pretty often....he still races at like 75 years old going 8.20's in a vega with the SAME HEMI that was in this colt now in the vega.....

He's running an aluminum block now with Hilborn's on it. 6385114-37668_141652892529274_100000536917034_306596_1599986_n.jpg (256 downloads)
