Title: Dodge Aspen
Post by: aerolith on October 19, 2021, 06:32:00 AM
Never thought I would get to talk about a Dodge Aspen on an Aero site?

My first hurrah into Drag racing was a 1976 Dodge Aspen with a very rare Weslake (Nascar development) engine already fitted.
The Dodge is long gone, stolen out of my Farm unit some twenty years ago!

Still have the engine thankfully but I think my 'old friend' Greg needs to tell us more about his Dodge Aspen!


Always dreamed of finding another and putting the Weslake in there... :2thumbs:
:scratchchin: :scratchchin: :scratchchin:
Have you still got it Greg???

Ray Evernham and I sold it a while back.
Too many irons in the fire, as they say.

Under the F Body skin was the Gary Bettenhausen #6 Hemi 4 speed Daytona, hiding in plain view!   :coolgleamA:

Tough times for Dodge in the Mid 70's?
