    I had the pleasure to meeting Dave briefly at the Whistle Stop just outside of Summit Point a couple years ago. He was driving the Hudson and stopped for lunch. He was nice enough to share the history of the car and give us great detail on the build. What a great guy and a cool car. The engineering on that ride was very impressive.
    Dave, If you read this, thanks for your time and sharing.

    WOW, amazing to see my old friend Dave and his yard. Spent a lot of time at his place way way way back when. Loved driving around the race track in his Karmann Ghia, going super fast on the open highway in his vette, and watching him hone some cylinders. Go Dave! I loved his '48 Chevy tow truck. Both he and Tom have more knowledge than an encyclopedia.

    If it's the car I think it might be, I built that Charger for a friend with muscular dystrophy (Not MS). I also installed the seat lift and it was built by the machinist at Johns Hopkins Biomedical Engineering. It had an oscilloscope in the glove box, a healthkit exhaust gas analyzer, fire suppression and a beautiful "Teal Green Sunfire" paint job and the vinyl roof was removed (the chrome trim was retained. The exhaust system was stainless steel built by Herb Gebler near Laurel MD. It has a special 'racing' automatic transmission with a chrome pan. The engine is a blue printed 383, no expense spared, and high compression despite the turbochargers. So incredibly sad to see it like this.

    What a mix, & to keep them running too! Well, some, lol. Watched a lot of the Super V's in the early 80's, especially at MIS, got some pics coming outta 2 4 wide at 170+. Back when Arie Luyendyk, Sr was winning (prior to CART). Gotta pic of him in the garage area, wrenching... When we asked to get the shot, he quick pulls up & fastens his racing suit & tucked his helmet under an armpit, didn't realize till in the dark room, he still had the ratchet in the other hand... Class act !

    My stepfather had a Studebaker champion for a number of years. Ever since i knew him it was a work in progress. He put a chevy 350 in it. Anyway. He had a brain tumor and could no longer work on it. He asked an old friend if he could do some work on it while he was on chemotherapy and all the drugs that went along with that. He wasnt the same after the tumor tho. One day the guy showed up when no one else was there. He loaded the car up and somehow convinced my stepfather to sign over the title to him. Never saw the car again he knew what he did. I still think about it when i see one.

    " Best SAAB 2-Stroke Rallying! | Pure Engine Sound "
    A compilation of them doing vintage class rally with them in Sweden at mixed speeds with how some of them are as low as 25 - 33 hp while the final v4 engine had 65 - 90 hp.
    (90 hp model was a rare limited special order of the 96 1700s for racing/rally about 80 - 110 made was estimated.)
    Very forgiving cars & safe because they don't make a whole lot of power.
