The Hemi was purchased new in 1968 by James A. Thomas & Milton E. Updyke of Tyrone Pa. In 1970 Samual S. Pannuty purchased it and sold it to 2 brothers that raced it as an A Modified. Sam then traded another car to the brothers & got the Hemi back, then traded it to a Bill Mc Coskey for a 65 Plymouth. Sam then bought the Hemi back from Bill Mc Closkey. In 1973 it went to Sox&Martin for the motor & Chick DeNino For the cage and suspension. In 1976 the Hemi was sold to Bob Keyser. Clayton B. Wright bought the car from Bob Keyser in 1977 and has owned it ever since.

Some of the Race and Record History of this Hemi.

In 1974-Set National Record at 10:17.

1978 Won Pa. Dutch Classic in Super Stock.

1983 Won SS/AA Class championship at Indy.

1987 End of season car was retired from racing.

Since retirement this Cuda has been used mainly for showes. It has a rebuilt 426 Hemi motor that would not be competive by todays standards. Its more for nostalgia than speed.

This Vehicle is being Sold as/is where/is. Buyer is responsible for all transportation charges.

I have tried to discribe car as harshly as I could so that there will be no dissatisfaction. If you have any questions call me at 215-788-1107. I Will consider all reasonable offers.
Thanks Clayton
