Hey Stewart, sorry it took me 2 years to see your question. Yes , Ray Christian's first Hemi Cuda is in Florida and is touted as being an original 4 speed car by the serial numbers. I asked Ray about the car ever having a 4 speed in it and he said that when he picked it up from Byers Chrysler Plymouth, it was in primer and had an automatic tranny. I was told that the car was originally intended for Carl Kirk of the team Eckard & Kirk / Rod Shop fame and Kirk declined it, and it was given free of charge to Ray Christian.His first car is being driven on the street and his second car, which I own, still sees the track on special occasions. It is blue and white and says Ray Christian in big letters and can be seen on my site. www.sledcityevents.com Larry
