He brought it to track couple years ago, and proceeded to drive it right into guard rail ( previous chebbie racer ) GUESS the Hemi was too much for him , lol .. but, he has since fixed it
I assume the color scheme is different. BigDad do you have any photos of it as it sits today? I have a lot of memories of that car growing up. John would spend time at the Motech facility at 8 mile in Detroit. my father was a lead trainer/supervisor of the Weld tech side of the facility they shared the same facility. He would let us sit in the car during the high school nationals at Milan and once in a great while take us for a little spin in the parking lot at the tech center. John was always good to us boys.
real cool memories for sure. and thank you for the info.
Tedder had two different cars, the white car with the rainbow stripe is the second car and not the first black/yellow Motech car

i wish i had taken pictures when i bought my charger back in 1970. it had J.C. Penny [] 5 spoke wheels, and was hit HARD in the rear, pushing the tail lights into the rear tires. the trunk latch broke loose from the tail panel, allowing the trunk lid to flop onto the sail panels, somewhat protecting the rear window. the car was put on the frame machine and pulled by an old German guy who worked there. he knew what he was doing, as the car still wears the original trunk floor pan and the original rear rails. the trunk lid and back glass, plus the dutchman panel are original as well.
