'' The Gypsy '' is alive and well.I still terrorize the neighborhood occasionally and it will still lift the front end with the 488 gears. I'm not sure Turbo what you saw in Belvedere but the car is not and has never been as you have described it. '' A former shell '' and upgraded technology? The complete drive train was freshened but there are no mods except for mufflers to keep the neighbors happy. The car is as it was raced, original, Fast,and beautiful as it was. (Complete story in MCG Feb 04). Only a fool would race this car in competition side by side. Here some pics of Ray Montgomery original owner and Driver (Here local) In the expo building in the same room 33 years apart. Cheers! Dave Tweedy

Hi, I know this is a old thread but I thought I would ask.I see on your list you have the Pink Panther 64 plymouth.I am new on here and thought I would look for it.My dad was the wrench on that car in '71 with Sunny Freeman driving.It was SS/EA and the car held the record that year 11.11 on a 7" tire.Then later that year it blew the record away at 10.86 on a 10" tire.They sold the car to Sam Panute.I am still looking for the car and I don't know who to ask on here about it.I met with jerry stien (Teachers Pet)and he did not know but that was a few years ago.Any Info please let me know.
Thanks, Tom
I announced for many years at 75-80 Dragway in Monrovia, MD. Some of their best races were Super Stock/Stock meets. There were many standout drivers, but the "Pink Panther" won just about every time he would show up. Driver was focused and nothing would distract him as he pulled to the starting line. What I remember was a little chain that dangled down from the front of the car. Don't know, but I had one on my street car that I could wrap around the radiator partition and padlock to keep people from opening my hood. Maybe that's what it was for??? Another quirk was Sonny would put ice on the intake manifold and when he would make "dry hops" approaching the starting line some of the melting water would trickle down between his front tires. I was always afraid that his slicks would get some of the water and he would go sideways at the start. NEVER HAPPENED! One of the best running Mopars from that era.

Here's some more to stir the discussion key:
Bennett & Sirianni SS/I sbc Camaro
I'll never forget when that car rolled into 75-80 Dragway. At first, I didn't recognize the car. On the door in large, engine turned, gold leaf letters were the words, JUST ME. What? I couldn't figure it out. Turns out, they were no longer a team, just Carl Bennett or Ron Sirianni. (I think it was Bennett) Anyway, at the finish line on each side of the track were metal poles with large Sprite (like the soft drink) signs. The sign would flash indicating the winning car of each race. "Just Me" went down in the right lane during eliminations. Just before reaching the finish line something happened and the right rear wheel locked up (blown rear end? don't know). Well the car went abruptly off the track to the right, just missing the Sprite sign pole and went up an enbankment and flipped into the air. Driver was OK, but the beautiful, white SS/I car, was a mess. What a shame.
