I read that article, I was a Plymouth Trouble Shooter! Back in 1973/74 I remember dropping out in the first round. Tech school teacher was mad at me and my partner. Trying to remember the questions we lost out on? Anyway went on to be a Mopar tech since 1976,now a FCA Fiat/Alfa tech(LOL)

I was in the Plymouth Trouble Shooting Contest in 1969. I remember getting our Plymouth started first, but had a hard time getting it to run smooth. What they did was take the valve out of the PCV. Vacuum problem with PCV back in place. That one really got us. Bob

One of our high schools had the trophys in a display case. They had '69 roadrunners on top. A guy I worked with was on the State Champion team.

I was a 1961 local participant, my team missed the paper wrapping on the air cleaner element and lost.

In pre-internet days I bought a Plymouth Troubleshooting trophy from the local Salvation Army store for $2.00. Don't remember what car was on it. Sold it through a free ad in Auto Round-up for about 20.00 and thought I was the shrewdest businessman in town.

That tall boy is a nice one Redbird . I've got about 12 Plymouth Trouble Shooting contest trophies starting with 1965 in sequential order to 1972, a few from the late 70's and a couple from the 80's. A Chrysler zone rep in the Syracuse area had them and his wife wanted them all gone and advertised them in a Swap Sheet. I'm not sure but I believe Plymouth ran these into the early 90's ??
