I know dick was pretty tight lipped on his cars, didn't want secrets to get out.im not sure if there ever was an article done on the car or not.i would like to see some good pics of the car if anybody has some. thanks for any info.

 

Try contacting Tony Tierney at 1-586-630-9697. Tony is the nephew of the late Pancho Rendon. Pancho was Dick's partner in the LaHie and Rendon top fuel car. Pancho was also the partner in the Tom Prock, and Pancho Rendon Plymouth Duster funny car. the funny car was called The Detroit ?
.I can't remember the last part of the name. Anyhow, when Pancho passed away a few years ago, everything that Pancho had went to Tony. another person to check with is Al Bergler.
