Not an a-body subject, but my late friend owned a (supercharged?)62 Plymouth (possibly a 62 Dodge), that he claimed was raced on the flying mile by the Granatelli bros. on the sand at Daytona Beach. He claimed it was the winner. Back then, you had to drive up the beach and then back, and they averaged the trap speeds. He said that on the return run, it spun 180 degrees and went backwards across the finish line. I believe he sold the car to a big mopar collector on the east coast, Frank Spittle. I've been trying to find written accounts of this, but have not found any, though I could swear I once saw it in an article in an old car magazine. Anybody know anything about this car or story?
