Pics from the floor at Mecum.   Wow, what a car!    It really turned out great.   

The next lucky owner will have all the fun of showing the car.    It will have a ticket to any car event anywhere in the world.

Interior painted B7 as when Goldsmith drove it at Daytona in Feb 1969.    The level of detail put into this car is exhaustive.     It is correct down to the rivets on the tail panel.

For the thousands of hours and years of work ( 8 ) and research I have into this car, it sure would be nice to get credit for it as promised.  I guess it's a good thing I have 1000 pictures  of it all. Can't say it didn't turn out nice.
When I die I want to go like my Grandfather did, quietly in his sleep.  Not screaming like the passengers in his car.

Dumb question - why no door numbers on the driver's side?

There was no number on the driver's door the day that the car set the record.

Thank you Scott for the work you put in on the project.
Also, a shout out to Steve Atwell's shop that got the project going.

Car looks stunning, and the attention to detail is incredible... well done guys  :notworthy:

Anybody notice the grille frame is upside down?
Yeah, that's how it was originally and that's how the NOS one
was installed.

Splitter can be seen behind the screen.

WoW all the time and effort to build a 200mph car 'back then' and twice as much work, to rebuild her NOW!

Think they could have found a better 'steering wheel'... :slap: :icon_smile_blackeye: :icon_smile_blackeye: :icon_smile_blackeye:

Got to 'at least' have a DRINKS button, that's a given... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :smilielol: :smilielol: :smilielol:

I agree! Or the fact the 'big Oly' Bronco goes for $1.7M and DC 93 doesn't hit 7 digits! We are truly living in a topsy-turvy world!  :shruggy: :Twocents:

The car is even more incredible in person.    Wanted to take it and only it home from the auction.    Here it is just a few moments from crossing the block.

Greg with his baby.     Larry Rathgeb's son Jeff brought the 200 mph pit board for a reunion photo op.

Its always the same with RICH folks!

They would buy a crap painting of a lily pond because some 'old fart' has his signature on it! :eek2:

But when it comes to REAL Culture and Endeavour, they walk on past with their 'noses in the air'. :brickwall:

Don't worry Greg, a REAL enthusiast will 'rock-up', 'REAL SOON' and give you your hard earned rewards (cash)... :2thumbs: :cheers: :patriot:

ps if I win the Lotto, the 200mph car will be coming to ENGLAND, where folks know CLASS when they see it (or hear it)... :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

pps I will be fitting a better steering wheel, (with your permission of course)... :mrt:

ppps I bet that Charger sold. its a better color B7... :slap: :smilielol: :eek2:

John- Here's a nice pic of the hand built Holley Sandcast Dominator that you provided.
It's #23 of the approximately 50 built in 1969. It has the sleeves to make it 950 cfm.

Holley Race Engineer Gary Congdon gave me the rebuild parts and suggested jetting tips.

The fuel log acts like a reservoir, enabling the engine to develop 575 HP at 6500. 
The car was legal for the 200 run, certified by Nascar Chief Inspector Bill Gazaway.

I believe all the Chrysler Engineering guys involved with the car would have been proud of the way it turned out.
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

The primer port on the front of the breather housing is a nice touch.

Thank you Dave.  23 years plus of effort! 

A Mecum guy took the wrong exit to the staging area and the front spoiler hit.
Was near PERFECT.  Pete, from Evernhams got it straighter.
Ronnie V., the one man show at Ray's, will get it back to normal.
Some rivets on the bracing sheared off. Under nose looks ok.

Lets say I was LIVID at that guy... :flame: :flame: :flame:
