Re: Mopars in Apollo 11 Pics

[Spicemanii@xxxxxxx]

hummm, I remember the 60's very well as I never was into anything mind altering. The record was the first vehicle to turn a closed course record at over 200 MPH was a Mopar this same day, 40 years ago. It was the #88 Test mule, 69 Dodge Daytona. Several laps were run and the word at first was they were testing transmissions. OK, so they were also testing transmissions. It was Buddy Baker and the car has been found and is being restored?and may be?finished. ps, the rocket, if I remember correctly, did come from Huntsville as mentioned. We did a car show in August 1975. Gas was an amazing $.49 a gallon. What a ripoff.? joe machado

No, since the Poly 318 was no longer available and NASA research indicated
that the 375hp 440 and the Hemi were much too powerful for that size
vehicle, they opted to fall back on the old solid rocket fuel.  :)

As far as memory of the '60's, they say if you can remember the 60's you
weren't really there...

Okay, okay, shutting up...

Was the Saturn V a Mopar?  Way back in my memory seems I can remember it
being built at the Huntsville, AL facility then taken by barge to the Cape.
Anybody else have any knowledge here?????
