From Gerry Clow: I found these in my files so i thought you would be happy to put them in your S/SS page. Below is Vince Hazel's Pontiac CF/SA, a car he held more records with than the Dodge wagon. It came with a 2.8 liter GM motor.
Above is Sam Harper's 1981 mopar that he ran in SS/GT/IA with a 360.
The third is a car you must remember well, Mr Riley's factory 1964 Dodge Max Wedge 426 wagon. I believe he still has it seating in his garage.
