    I absolutely love these cars, my favorites being the '65 sedans. I bought my '65 Belv I in 1984, and raced it with a 440 through '89. It hasn't been out since. I dove into it recently again, new front and rear suspension, and a 572 Hemi is getting close to completion. Might have it out next year, but too many projects going on.

    Thanks man. When the tires was brand new the car was like a vibrating snake on the road, I was close returning to the garage an swap but after half way to the track they start function like tires should - almost.

    Then after some runs on the strip they was quite okay!

    Hope they will stay in one piece...

    you must not have been around back then. we bought the super stocks, raced them, dumped them and moved on.. I bought my '63 plymouth SS for $2904.00 out the door and the dealer threw in a '53 chev for daily transportation.
    I raced both Blairs '62 Plymouth and Tommy Grove at Fremont on the same day- beat blair's black lost to groves white '63. not bad considering I lived in sacramento- drove to fremont uncapped the stock exhaust and borrwed 7" bruce slicks.

    What name (or sponsor) was on your car or what name did you race under? I may have been there that day.

    Just wanted to say thanks to all of you original guys from the 60's who raced these, modified them and had fun doing what you wanted to do. Im 27 and at an early age the first time I saw one of these got me interested in Mopar, muscle cars, drag racing and restorations. To many guys my age you fellas are legends and hero's to us and have been a great positive influence on my life! Dream of mine to own one of these and I plan on making that a reality and keep it like you guys had it and race it not pamper it!

    For those of you on this thread interested in the history of these cars, here (and on some following posts) is a very good article from the 7-22-11 issue of "National Dragster"

    Thanks for the article! Too bad no new pics seem to have surfaced though. Looks like the photo of the Long Ram engine on page 59 is of the early '62 car before the Max Wedge came out.

    Has anyone here seen the '61 Ramcharger car in real life or, better yet, have interior pics of it?? I would need to find out what the interior color was as well as the other interior details! Any info would be much appreciated!

    Here is ours, 426 Stage 1, 3 spd T85 Borg warner, 6950 miles. Used to run at Englishtown in the 80s by Kelly Brothers. I wonder if some one has pics. I think it had a crappy lace paint job.[​IMG][​IMG]
     
  20. Congrats Ron. Your car is very cool and fast!!

    As far as I know, the long ram tube setup was not used at all in '62 before the Max Wedge came out. It was used in 1960 and in 1961. If memory still serves me, it made it's first appearance in a production car in 1960 on the Chrysler 300F.

    Thank you Jody. I was hoping to see you at Capitol last weekend ? We had a great time and my brother Gary ran 10.45 three rounds in a row and got runner up when he went red with a .002 ! I tried changing my timing around and it did not help so I went back to 38 total where it likes it the best. My best pass was 10.83 @ 124. Really sorry I have not got to see you this year. I went to the Delmar US 13 race about a month or so ago with my brother but did not see you there. How is it going and how is the car running ? Ron

    Seen on ebay, sold for $3950. Enough to make me wish my garage had been empty. I hope the new owner gets it running right and drives it just like it sits.

    I'm trying to locate my old race car. Sold it in the mid-70's & can't remember who bought it. It was known as the "Crispy Critter". 426 max-wedge w/ auto. trans. Was last seen at a race in Ohio about 12 years ago, bracket racing, and was painted white at that time.

    It was originally tan or white as the interior was tan w/ rubber flooring instead of carpeting. It was a Savoy and painted '69 Camaro green when I bought it. Here are a few pic's taken at Beech Bend back about 1972.

    Any help in locating, or anyone with knowledge of it's whereabouts will be greatly appreciated!!
