Hey,just dropping a line to let everyone who can remember a maroon Chrysler Cordoba running super/stock in the 80s is being revived.The car was repurchased by Sam Harper and myself late last year after Sam sold it seven years ago.The car only made a few passes in the last seventeen years since Sam quit racing.The previous owner only ran the car once and parked it .We have full intentions on running the car as a class legal SS/LA DODGE MIRADA,with some body changes which are in progress and the car will appear at the ATLANTIC NATIONALS all Chrysler show at MONCTON CHRYSLER DODGE the saturday night of the show.The engine is getting finshed up and a fresh coat of paint and updated safty equipment and tires.We will be at the stock/superstock event in miramichi dragway ,We hope to see all our old friends there..............Alan Harper

sam no doubt got "the itch" again last year at the scouduc reunion. great to hear hes makin a comeback with the same car. the last time i remember johns car was when the torque converter tried to come through the windshield at the park. i was workin the line and packham was the announcer. how long ago was that? hey don!!! another semi retired fellow is makin a comeback just like you and me !!!!!!!!!!!!!! but of course for me it's hard to make a comeback when i havent been anywhere.

i was there also but no camera to shoot a pic. but i talked to sam and he was wondering when the next race was so i let him know about this weekend and he "might" come over. it also sports its proper nose piece now too. according to sam its a mirida but had the cordoba nose for years.
