Nice car Steve.I love the way it sits.
The Dicky Wickberg story alone is priceless.

Here is a photo of the car when I first saw it back in 1987, moments after the 3rd owner pulled the tarp off it...you can almost hear the Twilight Zone theme playing in the background.

A couple years ago I called Dicky Wickburg and his dad. They are still in the phonebook here in Jersey. The son honestly sounded scared on the phone that the car was still "alive". It was literally like a ghost from his past calling for him. I offered to bring the car over and show it to him and I swear I could hear him sweating on other end of the phone. He refused to see the car.

I also contacted the second owner (the bear-drinking engine assembler). He told me he still had the original grenaded block from the car. I offered to buy it from him at whatever price he wanted and he got really freaked out. He started stuttering and hung up. I called him back a month later and he said his dad threw out the engine block right after I called. Very strange.

I don't think the car liked them...Luckily I think this car likes our family and wants to stay. It's the only car I've ever had, musclecar or everyday driver, that starts on the first turn of the key. It could have sat for a year and it still starts right up. Kind of like your family dog wanting to go for a walk the minute he hears the leash jingle....By now I've probably scared you all enough, but hey, us Mopar guys are a little weird anyway
