Just a quick question -

I have a results sheet that attributes Herb McCandless with winning SS/D at the 69 Nationals.

I know it was a Dodge..but I can’t figure what Dodge would have run SS/D - the Hemi Darts ran SS/B, the O1 cars SS/C, the O23 cars ran SS/E (they dropped two classes from 68)

Anyone know what car he raced at the 69 Nats?


67 RO23 clone with 6.1 SRT Hemi and dual quads. Soon to have Drag Pak induction and Throttle body.

In 69 - 64 Dodge/Plymouth steel front end, hood scoop, race Hemi could run SS/D and DA.

May be other combo’s.

Are you talking about the 1964 410 HP single four barrel Race hemi for NASCAR racing in NHRA SS and or stock classes?

No - talking about SS/D class at the 69 Indy Nats, which he won.

I helped work on the above car after it was bought by Ken Lau and he ran it in SS/EA with a steel nose and he also ran it in SS/DA with the lightweight nose. The engine was a 426 Max Wedge in either class!

It was a steel nose '64 Dodge 440 Sedan for sure. Herb and Vaughn Currie put it together. Dark blue I believe. There are some b&w photos of it in the Petersen archives. It's the only one that is still "missing" from my research of the steel cars that were put together that year.
