I will post some pics this evening, once I get home.

That car was a fixture in the Pittsburgh area and a heavy hitter at old Pittsburgh International back in the day. It was also successful in Division 1 SS racing.

Tom Myl was the son of Pete Myl, who owned a CP dealership out by Pittsburgh Airport. The car is now owned by long time Pittsburgh racer Jim Lydon, and was shown at Pittsburgh's World of Wheels show last February.

Bob George also raced with Tom, and knows quite a bit about the car. Tom went on to race a 68 Hemi Cuda, and a later model 70 Hemi Cuda, both in SS.

Did Denny ever run that car? I don't remember him racing. I loved the old MMCI shows he put on at Quaker though.

Yes Denny made quite a few passes at the MMCI meets at Quaker.He claims to have never changed the spark plugs all the time he owned the car.It was all white with a burgundy scoop like my 65.

I got to meet Tommy Myl at Indy this year. We spoke at length mostly about the 70 car. I have met a lot of super nice and helpful people from that area this past year.

Hot Rod did a special magazine a few years ago about mopars from the 60s & 70s and there is a picture of Tom Myls 67 at the US Nationals in the issue. You might also find some pictures on the PID webpage.

Try going on Ebay and use Tom Myl in the search. I have a photo
of his car taken at the 1969 Nationals at Indy. Jim
