Dear HEMI-fellows,
sorry I`ve been absent for a while and still for whatever reason I do not get reply-notifications.
It is a pleasure to see that you gentlemen continued supplying information, thus special thanks to members 6bblgt, gtx6970, mattsmopars & (over at fbbo.com) barracudabee.
By that I am happy to announce we not only improved list-quality, but with 9 (!!!) new cars added we broke the 50%-barrier as we now have reachted 69 (countable) cars: now having passed the mountain`s top, things go a lot easier and faster downhill 😊
Here are the updates:
- list-quality improved: car`s #19 & #26 identical, so the todays Bob Mazzolini-car is the former “FOX & PARSONS” dragracer, thanks to 6bblGT for that info and even supplying the fendertag (#3194506). The FT also reveals a conversion from factory auto to manual-trans. @6bblGT: do you have any further information on the trans-conversion (when, why, by whom?).
- new cars highlighted in YELLOW.
Thank you very much, gentlemen, and keep up tracking them.
I might post some direct replies to some of your posts regarding a specific car.
Thanks, Toby

NEW ONE FOR YOU, RL21H61226432 LT BLUE MET BLUE INT
Thanks, David: also accidentally found your car on FB meanwhile but nothing greater than an owner contributing to my registry himself. I am happy to see "BAD COMPANY" in good hands with you enjoying it! #68 on my registry.

A couple from FB tonight. - this photo of "POOR BOY" seems to show a 67 model...or a warmed up 66 model by applying the sill-chrome of the 67 and discarding the lower beltline-trim of the 66. The original 1966-car is #12 in my list. - "GOLDENFENDER TOO" was new to me, now #67 on my list, interestingly run by Pete MYL`s Garage.
Thanks and best regards,
Toby

Known car? Is it real or otherwise ?
Sorry, Dont have a vin. this picture popped in a facebook group Im in Thanks for posting "MR. BELVEDERE" by Stanley BYRD (now #66 on my list). That gentleman is more known for dragracing "HEMI a-go-go", an 64 or 65 car and also other (1963-1965 models?) cars under the "MR. BELVEDERE" name. Encouraged by your posting I tried to find more pics of (t)his 66 Belvedere, but no luck.
Thanks and best regards,
Toby

Another from FB, the OP said his grandfather raced the car out of the Akron, OH area. Matt Any more infos on that one? Please always give a link if possible, so it is easier for me to try researching more information. Unfortunately coudn`t decifer the car`s name,..best guess is "Long & Pruto" ??? It is now #70 on my list.
Thanks and best regards,
Toby

A picture that was on eBay for sale. Matt Hm, photo taken at 1966 Yankee 300 in Indianapolis Raceway Park...a road-course-race...that RL21H6 "GRAND CENTRAL PLYMOUTH" does not seem like a contender, more like a find in the parking-lot...but an interesting find :-) Now #71 on my list.

Maybe it’s known but when I picked up my 66 Belvedere II I got a 4 door parts car in the deal, was going to use the windshield gasket (had to cut mine out glued in so bad) realized then the windshield-roofs on sedans are taller by an inch. Subtle differences that make the sedans look better to me, makes the car look shorter. Good info, thanks! @cudaman1969

The "EVANS, EVANS & CLEVE" is one of my personal favourites: looks awesome! VIN of this car is known, it is already on my list (#11)...but always eye-candy to look at.

Yes, the "featherlites"...interesting cars, read that same article on the interweb quite some time ago...but unfortunately no RL21-cars. Is there more "proof" to these "featherlites" out there: did not find any other/more information/confirmation about them when I read that article back then.
Thanks and best regards,
Toby
