A local S/S Hemi racer had a good look at that car back when he and his brother ran a SS/DA Cuda. It definitely lived on the razor's edge of the rule book. Something that sticks with me about that car was the rear suspension. Apparently the front spring eye was lowered by a couple of inches, which was the key to the big wheelstands. I was also told that on a really hard launch, the passenger window glass would pop out of the track at the top and then pop back in as the car rotated back to ground.

The front spring eye was raised about 1-1/2". That car was a rulebook twister for sure. The Wiend 6pk intake was the hot intake then, it was a .2-.3 gain with the mods and even more on some cars. Most guys ran 5.57-5.86 gears as well. Valvetrain breakage was a common problem when running a wedge back then, valves were checked after every pass.That is when class racing was fun, not a bracket race. poppaj
