Was there originally a differnt headstone? That one looks like late 80's/early 90's design wise.....

I know, right?
He died while driving a 1955 Porsche Spyder.  The car is now said to be haunted and brings bad luck to anyone that owns a piece of it.

Anyway, I really like his breakfast sausage.  :lol:

Daytona, nice picture of your Challenger and the headstone.  :cheers: Yet another great possibility for the calendar.

Wow, never thought about his headstone, always just pictured him in my mind in movies or next to the Porsche...
1972 Dodge Challenger Rallye 340, AT, Code TB3=Super Blue, SBD=8/17/1971.  Yes, a Rallye without the fender louvers from the factory because of the body side molding option.
