Congratulations Bob!  I got my issue of HMM a day or so after you originally posted this.  Would have posted earlier, but I just finally got around to registering on the site.   I recognize your username from the Moparts site and have long been curious about how you managed to buy a 440 Six-Pack Super Trac Pack car at 17.  Great story!  My dad was a rep for Chrysler-Plymouth in the NY Metro area back around that time and part of his duty was helping out with the trouble shooting contests.  Sounds like it was a great opportunity for you! -Russ

Guys Thanks for the Kind words.

Hi Russ,
My Mom & Dad always supported me and my older brother in what we did, but we both always worked hard after school. Saving all the money we could to buy cars. I was 13 and my brother had purchased a 1965 Dodge Coronet 500 426 Street Wedge - 4 speed, Black w/White interior, what a car. When he got married he then gave me the car to race by that time,wish I still had it. My Dad had Dodges also, Mopars where in my blood.When I was 17 years old in 1970 I saw the Challenger and feel in love with it. I went to the dealer and ordered this Challenger, I put $900 of my own money down on it and every month paid the loan for 3 years, my Mom & Dad did cosign for me. I ordered it with a Shaker Hood but in April when the car came it had no Shaker hood, boy was I mad. After I graduated high school, I turned 18 years old and then started working as a line mechanic at the Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealer. I worked as a line mechanic for 14 years and then moved on working for the NYC DOT.
I may have known you Dad, I was in the Chrysler-Plymouth trouble contest in 1969, Valley Stream NY. I worked at various C-P-D dealers in the Westchester & Bronx NY area.
Thanks for your interest Bob
