1968 Hemi Cuda Super Stock / A Hemi (SS/AH) Race Car presently under construction! In it's final configuration, it may race in S/ST (Super Street on a 10.9 second index) or S/G (Super Gas on a 9.90 second index)
In the initial phase of construction, a 426 inch Generation3 new Hemi was test fitted into the chassis. The car will be raced in this configuration during initial testing. A monster Wedge or 2nd Generation Hemi may be utilized later. Stay tuned, or call for more information!
Here is an interesting bit of history for you. I had been talking with Phil Mandella about the initial fabrication of the car, designing it's initial chassis work to resemble the Holton / West Coast Hemi cars. While attending the 2006 Mopars At The Strip show and race, I had Phil and Harry autograph the glove box.
Ronnie Sox, Herb McCandless and Buddy Martin were to attend with their original 68 Cuda. Unfortunately Ronnie was too sick to attend, but I still had Herb and Buddy sign. Buddy encouraged me to send the glove box door to Ronnie and Diane at their home in Virginia. Sadly, Ronnie passed away 10 days after signing this part of my car.
