Glad to help and further the knowledge of Mother Mopar.

The infamous Weslake was destined for Dick Landy's collection in LA.
So I flew over in 2004 to meet 'the man' and do a deal with him.
But I couldn't go through with it as I had become so attached to our UK treasure lol.
Before I got to meet the 'great man' he fell unwell and passed to the great dragstrip in the Sky.
I tried dealing with his son Robert but he was in all sorts of problems with Dick's brother.

Fast forwards 15 years and I gets a call from Don Garlits, ''have you still got the Weslake '426 wedge' Nascar engine''?
How he found out I still had it was a complete mystery?
So I said ''it was going to be in Landy's collection, but maybe better in yours''.

Then he asked me if I had any ''Mopars to sell''?
Yes actually I do, your old Charger 500!
He was amazed it still existed and I asked him if he would like to buy both?
(Guess I would want $90,000 for the pair, $75k for the Charger 500 and $15K for the one off Nascar development engine)?

''No'' he said, ''I'm happy to have them for the museum and display them for you''...

''Let me think about that Mr Garlits''...

(My name is billy not silly) methinks...
