of John Sawruk...I judged his car at the GTOAA Nat's in C-bus, Ohio...with him walking along beside me! John had his "books" wit hhim assisting me in judging the class. His car was as yet unrestored. When we got to his...I noticed a big "goose-egg" where the top and rear 1/4 panel were joined. I told him I just "killed" the previous car for the very same thing...attribuing it to shoddy worksmanship! He swore that this was how it was delivered. Mopar put vinyl tops on nearly ALL Superbirds and Daytonas for that very reason...as the rushed the production of the "flat window" cars and weren't overly concerned with aesthetics. Anyway...I digress. Just brought back a wonderful memory from the "good old days"! BTW...I love these cars .Had a red 71 1/2 350 2bbl 3-speed. A friend bought a Tropical Lime/green/green vt car brand new. It was a 400/400 and ran much stronger than it had any right to! Great thread...thanks. Ron
