Heard he had blown a window into the original block one night racing on the 110. Had it welded back up, but installed a replacement block to which it was probably what you saw and heard by then. It was a high 10 piece with steel wheels and all. I believe the piece was worked, assembled and tuned by another well known character from those days and nights by the name of "RED". Pete never offered it to me for sale but was well aware of my car as well. I guess both pieces were rather active at the same time complimenting each other. By the way, I created a mural of that A-990 on the side wall of his parts shop out there somewhere on the Island, but can't remember what township. Hemi-itis might know. He was very happy with it. He asked me how I knew all the lines, reflective points, nooks and crannies of such a car, I looked at him with a stare of REALLY! LoL.
Pudlin Auto Parts was on Carman Ave in Westbury.I can close my eyes and see that Mural.Pete was proud of that. It's Reds fault I went to work at that repair shop in Great Neck.That's a different book yet to be written. I met Pete when I was on my GS1150 that was a 1229cc with a hidden bottle under the seat.I was king of Hempstead Turnpk from 86 to 89.My 63 had a blowed up wedge in it at the time.Pete sold me a 66 hemi on weekly payments.Boy,,,alotta history being stirred
BTW,here is Reds currant car with his brother Myron on the fender. Richard Kay is in this crazy circle as well!
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!
