Right on.  You don't see many brothers' driving race cars.  Being a big boy didn't seem to make a difference since he set a national record.

A record holder huh?  Cool, that's the history part I was curious about.  

[472 R/T SE]

I don't know about the association he was in when he set it, whether they were a standard or perhaps a small independent seeings how he beat the previous record by a full second? 

Just glanced through the articles...

Newspaper says "existing national record"

I like his leather watchband.

Awesome story!  Dig the shades he is wearing!

Some news stories claim the car is a 383 powered '71 Superbee, others claim a 400 "normal" Charger.

Some news stories claim the car is a 383 powered '71 Superbee, others claim a 400 "normal" Charger. 

The car originally pictured appears to have the SUPER BEE letters on the fender as well as the Super Bee hood. My bet goes to it being a Bee

I have two unpublished, color photos of this car that will be appearing in my book, "Lost Muscle Cars".

I'm currently sourcing any & all information on this car. If you know of it, or know it's current whereabouts, please inbox me.

You're misreading the story. He was a full 1 second BELOW the national record.

I can confirm this is an air-grabber Super Bee.

Agree...

Not to mention the photo was taken in '71.  Doubt they would clone it.

"... during the summer months when he's not chasing an opposing quarterback, he races on a drag strip, shown May 15, 1971. The 25-year-old tackle for the Vikings' defensive unit says racing is just about as much fun as squashing a quarterback..."

Very cool photo btw...  Thanks for sharing

So it's a 383 Bee.

Great job on the book Wes.  It looks excellent in the previews.
