Frank Slater from Maryland raced a 1971 Dodge Challenger that was purchased new from Brandywine Dodge. This car was never tagged for the street. Brown,auto, and a factory Shaker car. Frank one a lot of races with it . I would like to hear some stories . The car has been in storage for the last 16 years , I just moved it this past week. So if you have any pictures of this great car please post them . Thanks, John

Found the original owners of my 1971 Challenger ! I talked with one of the original owners
of this car. His name is Terry Bell, he and the late Gene Collins ordered this car from Tillgman Motors only to only drag race. “The only thing we wanted was a 383 , Shaker Hood , 3:91’s “
This is also a radio delete car. Terry and I talked about the car and some of it’s race history . Gene and Terry raced the car and then Frank Slater raced the car for many years.
I would like to thank Dave Ley from NJ for helping me out with finding Terry !
