At the Pittsburgh World of Wheels last weekend we caught a 63 NSS Plymouth that is driven by Kim Galligher. I see that Bill Krause is apparently affiliated with it, and it is drop dead gorgeous. I was not aware that the car existed, but apparently they've had it for a while. It has not been at any events we've been at, and I am anxious to see it run. Like anything Krause is involved with, the car is right and the workmanship is absolutely superb.

I am not sure what that previous post means, but I am no one's ruler. Just a guy who has been in love with this whole SS MoPar scene since I first accompanied my cousin to Toronto Dodge in 1964 to pick up a brand new aluminum nosed 330 sedan. This sport has been the driving force in my life ever since.
I had to put a lot of things on the back burner to raise a family, deal with illnesses, etc., but count my blessings to be friends and acquaintances with some of the most successful doorslammer racers of racing's "golden years". Although some are gone from us, some have disappeared from sight, and some are still around, I am grateful and thankful for having had the gift of being around them. And, being able to continue to do it with my sons makes me even more grateful.
I've loved every minute. It's been a hoot.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.
We raced Carl at Quaker City quite a lot during the 65-67 time period, and had the paint the car wears now, the gray/with dark sides. That is the original paint. He won sixteen combo races in a row at QCR in 67, beating my cousin's "Lucifer" 64 Hemi Dodge in four finals. Carl "Holeshot" Schodde was unbeatable during that period. I have 8mm films taken at QCR during that time, and it is the orignal paint.
The Greg paint job came a bit later, around 1970. I also have 8mm films of the car winning class at the NHRA Summernationals in Englishtown, with the Greg paint job. Personally, I prefer the original paint. I must just be getting old and conservative.
The current paint was done around 1975 and while similar to the original paint, It's different. Almost the same color combo, Slightly different lettering.

He was very impressive, as was the car. He used to leave us all just shaking our heads. Here is another shot of the car in the Greg paint.....

Another....as great as it looked, I still like the way it is now, which sixpackdodge has told us is very much like the original.
I think that Carl Schodde was as tough a racer as that time period offered, period. I watched and are friends with most of the heavies of the day, and for my money the SSW gave nothing to nobody.
As far as the Kim Galligher 63 at the show, I wish I had a better pic. The car is absolutely beautiful.

I see them at swap meets from time to time ..
The Spyders go for around $180.00 a wheel unrestored ..15 x 7's
The flys I've seen just a few times . looks like they ask about $500 for the 15 x 4's and again "non" restored
