Mr. Wallace. This was my Hemi Cuda. The first picture was July 19th, 1980. My friend Al Smyth is the guy pictured sitting on the engine hoist. He owns Port A Tree timing systems Company in Uxbridge, Mass. A Brilliant guy. He owns 2 Hemi Cuda's this Black one which he let me use for the day and a stock blue one. The last picture of the car on the trailer is Sunday April 1st 84 the day I sold it to a guy from NH. I took off 2 days later in a 74 Vega GT from Milford Mass and drove to Northridge California to stay with my friend Dominic and his family. Years later Dominic was the Vice President and chief enforcer of the LA chapter of The Hell's Angels. Dom was a bodybuilder and he was big but he couldn't fight too good. Well he ended up getting trained by old man Gracie and boy could he fight after that. He never lost a fight. Didn't stay out on the left coast too long only a month and a half. Just wasn't my cup of tea. When they say it's the land of the fruits and nuts they weren't kidding. PS Mr. Wallace. Check out Dragway Memories from Cayuga Dragway in Ontario Canada on You Tube. It was a Div 1 track and your uncle Pee Wee's 76 Monza flopper is shown in quite a few episodes and the car that I worked on is featured a number of times. I never made it to that track though.Jim if only we could turn time back , I remember selling mid 60 Corvettes , Chevelle 67 SS , and the last of the cars I wished I still had was 66 Impala SS 396 4 speed , positive rear , convertible had fender skirts and all . But out of all of them I always wanted the 426 hemi in a dart.
