Another one of the local 67's was raced by Sam Brooks , and was called "White Lightning".




This is the car I bought off a lawyer in Miami who was going to jail in 1997? He bought it at the Mopar nats in Columbus in the early 90's. I sold it to Bill in 98-99?

Bill besides you and me, here are a few names that had that car.
Bill Weekly
Ben Morgan
Ray Christian
Can't recall his name but he was Larry Morgans crew chief at one time. Tm Something.
DC


thx chris jhon did a beautifull job building that car


As for Ray Christian, he raced 4 67 Hemi Belvederes and one Hemi Coronet w-o car named "The Beeleiver"owned at that time by Starkey. The 67 cars that he raced were, a 67 Hemi Belvedere 2 door sedan with a Hemi Scoop ( that he built), a 67 Hemi Belv.hardtop called "The Harrisburg missel",( that he built and I bought in 1973), a white Hemi Belv. with red frosted paint around the edges, and a real nice silver Hemi 67 Belv. Hardtop. One of the last 2 that I mentioned caught fire out in front of his shop and again, one of those 2 cars Ray told me was the old Jere Stahl car. Another one of the local 67's was raced by Sam Brooks , and was called "White Lightning". Then there was a guy named Gorden Wallace, AKA,"Buzzy" Who raced a 67 Hemi Belv. Then there was "The Roar-N-Hemi" owned by Phil Roar. Marcusic was the original owner of that car, then Dave Miller, then Sam Brooks, then Phil Roar and then to the present owner. Phil Roar had 3 original r-o cars and has a wealth of info. I just talked to him today about this stuff , and I should talk to Sam Brooks too. As for Ben Morgan , don't remember him having a Hemi car. He was world famous for his Max Wedge cars.If someone is going to do a CORRECT history on these cars, they should get started NOW while the original drivers are still around.




I've been trying to get a picture of the "BeeLiever" car from Starkey but they might have been lost to time.. That was one of the hardest leaving '67 cars back in the day. I remember the Division 3 point race NTR in '72. It left the line with only one wheel on the ground. I stored it in my garage for a year or so then one day Starkey told me it was sold. I was crushed...I would have bought it if I'd known it was for sale.

From what I remember, it used a cut down tunnel ram manifold.

Ah, a tale of yore – In 1967, I wanted a 67 Street Hemi car - and went to my local Dodge dealer. He looked for one, and found one (white with black 4 speed) in Pahokee, Florida (no joke) – well hooked up the trailer, and with one of his sales people - headed to Pahokee - it is on the south side of Lake Okeechobee – picked up the car, with the headers, battery, and carb isolator in the trunk, and decided to drive it home – and I did - oh well another that has disappeared.

I remember one for sale in Miami around 1974. It sit in the driveway of a house just a block or two off US1. Maybe your old car?

52 Savoy,
Is this the car you were talking about in FL? This one was for sale in 1973.

Well,
i am not sure how much time I can actually dedicate to the 67 cars but I would like to try putting together an original owners list as well as history through the years including pics. The 68 Hemi Registry keeps me pretty busy and I am putting together a 68 Barracuda. But I am going to see what I can do - any help would be appreciated.

Glassman,
The Bee-Leiver car is still around in Zanesville. Here is the Christian car that burned - the article mentions that it burned on the trailor after this race. Any idea where this car came from?

No... the car in Miami was a Coronet. From what I recall it had some lettering on it that didn't make any sense to us. Like the Coronet picture you posted. A buddy and I used to spend our free time chasing down Hemi and max wedge cars in south Florida.

strange...I thought I knew all the cars in Homestead but I never saw the Belvedere. I lived on SW 12th st 1973-75.

Markusic... that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. He was killed when his Hemi powered AMX crashed. I talked to him at Bluegrass Dragway...nice guy.

Stewart,
I don't think that this is your car - I think that this is the one that Glenn traded the Hemi Dart (not the Scat Pack one) to Reid Whisnant for. ??
52savoy, did you ever come across any 68 S/S Hemi Darts or Barracudas?
Thanks,
Mark J
