Scott Eriksen Posted May 7, 2024 Posted May 7, 2024 (edited) I did this as an in-between'er build while I'm waiting for some stuff for the Sox & Martin Comet build, Ted Spehar's Iron Butterfly 64 Dodge 330 with Dick Oldfield driving .The car wasn't a factory Hemi car,,in fact it was Ted's wife's car ,with a Slant Six! Ted built the car in 2 weeks in 1969 and only ran the car in 69 running in SS/CA . The car made headlines at the U.S. Nationals when the Torqueflite detonated while doing a neutral start. The explosion virtually lifted the entire car off the ground. I believe the car's best run was at the World Finals where Dick was runner up to Sox & Martin.I built this car from an old parted out Lindberg kit and a Hemi and wheels from a Moebius kit .The decals are from SMP ,Holley 3116 carbs are from Fireball ,headers are from the plumbing dept.,,solder division ?

R. Thorne Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 In your 2nd picture, is this an early version of the car? Wally Booth is the driver?

M W Elky Posted June 20, 2024 Posted June 20, 2024 You did a fantastic job piecing together this old Lindburg kit. The blue interior looks amazing. This makes me wish I had gotten a set of these decals. By the way I envy your neatly kept work space 1
