Quote: That Green Challener looks like one that ran in the 70's named FLYING DUTCHMAN.

That is Tom's car that was built for him. He actually found the body in upstate NY on a Farm and is was just restored, along with a new spec chassis. Dave Rietz will be building the Hemi this spring and they hope to make some passes on 70% this year. I think Tom is 80 and can't wait to get back int he car!!
Tom Rules In 73 or 74 at the IHRA Spring Nationals at Bristol, Tom had a futuristic Challegner body on his FLying Dutchman Funny Car. The rules only said it had to be a production car but the rules did not say when the car had to be in production. since his was a Dodge show car anbd Dodge said it would be going into production, he got to run it. Wonder what happened to that body? Man do I wish I had kept those old pictures from the 60's and 70's.
