I remember this car well. I only saw it once or twice, but it made a lasting impression. It was at Ohio Valley Raceway in 1980 I believe, for the Door Slammer Nats. We were pitted next to him. The car sounded great. The wheelies had everyone talking and the track officials nervous as he carried the wheels nearly the whole 1/8th mile! It is great to see these pictures, and to refresh my memorie of that car! Thanks, Mark

I have some history on this car as my brother Dave and I use to own it. It was indeed a RO23 original car and was purchased new by Frank Marcusic and was an original 4-speed car he raced in SS/D then he put a tunnel ram on it cut out the rear wheel wells so he run 14-32 slicks and went to AM/P class, after that he sold the car and Dave Miller bought it,fixed the rear quarters put an automatic in it and ran SS/DA with it,then when he quit racing it the was bought by Sam Brooks who I was very good friends with, my brother Dave and I traded an original 63 Max Wedge Savoy for the 67 to Sam, we never raced it and eventually traded it back to Sam for another car, yes this car was originally white and it used to sit at the Sinclair/Arco station at Oakland Park & Indianola that my dad use to own and us brothers all worked there, there were always a lot of bad Mopars there besides our own. This is just my worth.

Did he have a Duster by chance? If so does anybody have any pics?
We have a ex-Pro/Stock Duster that was bought out of Ohio that was possibaly black and white and was monikered "Hemi Thunder" or something like that and was supposedly driven by Phil Roar.Can any shed some light on this car? Any info would be appreciated.

Doesn't ring any bells but there were many cars that came and went back then all over the country. If you had a picture that showed some resemblence to the original paint it would help.
