1969 Race Dart w/ 426 Hemi- garaged for 45+ years
I hope you framed it. lol
......just another day on the glory trail for me. :)
Pretty sure I kept it, after 5 moves in the last decade, I will have to do some searching. It would be a good find and a nice piece for my wall.
That whole day was a blast. Drove up and down in the early afternoon and found a primo spot about a block away from our Holiday Inn at the split in Pontiac. When the sun went down, the goofballs came out with their mommas car trying to spin the tires. As things were winding down around 9:30-10 I pulled out to head back to the motel and did a nice John Force burn out right up to the stop light. I no more than got it stopped and I felt a tap on my shoulder. An officer on foot told me to turn the corner and pull into the parking lot which just happen to be our motel. I naturally complied but as he was walking up to my car I could hear him on his radio talking about a roll-back....so I asked him why would he impound my car when I have been seeing (half assed) burn outs all day long. He laughed and explained the roll-back was for a car elsewhere and gave me the "donation" citation which I thought was "fair" . After all, it was a nice burn out.
While parked along Woodward an older (likely my age now) guy started looking over the Hemi Duster and began asking all about how I built it. He loved the stock / incognito look. We BSed for over an hour and I could tell this wasn't your average spectator. Then he introduced himself (Tom Cottington) as one of the original Ramchargers, Said he loved the car and remarked as he strolled away....."we could of used you on our team". Whoaaa!!! It took me about a year to wipe the grin off my face.
