A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY
I don't believe that Greg Charney is (yet) a member of this forum.
Greg is a retired Chrysler powertrain engineer who started there out of college as
a dyno operator back in the 70's and was closely linked to Mopar Performance and
the racing programs.
Greg, whose '65 Hemi Coronet was the top Super Stock eliminator at the 1971 Indy
Nationals was a compatriot of Jimmy Addison (Silver Bullet) back in the day and in
fact, one time, Tom Hoover directed Jimmy to put his Hemi in Greg's Coronet for a
particular drag meet.
Greg's '68 Dart, which he constructed entirely by himself, has been the subject of
numerous magazine features over the last year and even though it is street driven
it has been "knocking on the 9.0's" (see attached You-Tube video - Sound UP).

The Dart has an all-aluminum 410" Mopar Performance sprint car powerplant and a Liberty
5-speed transmission. The chassis sports a rare RMS short torsion bar front end and Greg's
own custom fabricated suspension out back. Greg also built his own headers entirely from
scratch.
Gregs usual traveling companion at car shows is Ted Spehar who many of you may
know was the engine builder for the Motown/Mopar Missile program. Mr Spehar also
owned the Woodward Avenue Sunoco station that housed the Silver Bullet.
Greg and Ted will be at "The Hotel" and in "The Tent" and we look forward it.
