I know this is a long shot.
But I cant think of any other place to ask this

Does any one have clear photos of this particular car.
Im looking for details - especially engine color it was back then

I can find all kinds of pic of the SS/A car
But hardly none of the SS/EA car which was 440 auto

There's a FB site Vintage A-body Mopr Pictures that has a lot of racecar photos - an inquiry there could help.
The Landy kids/family, or someone who crewed/worked on the car, would likely recall some details - that kind of stuff helped on my ex-Hamburger car.
Unfortunately, I have no memory of ever seeing that car in person, though I certainly should have seen it.

Landy was very consistent with the presentation of his cars, and seems to have retained the factory engine colors in photos of his other '68-'69 race cars.
The Clinics may have contributed to that choice, or not...the "correct" color didn't bother Jake King @ S&M at all !

The 1968 HP 440 375 HP and 383 HP motors were orange in 1968 in the dodge and Plymouth A and B body cars, the 375 HP440 H.P motors in 1967 were green in both Dodge and Plymouth A and B body cars scope
I think those motors were Green in the Chrysler cars those years shruggy confused

Which brand car and what part of the year where they made?
I remember looking at 383 Road Runners and Chargers with 383 in the R.R. and both 440 HP and 330 HP 383 in 1968 Chargers that were factory orange engine colors in late 1968: confused:
