We have a new page on the T/A site dedicated to Sam Posey. Most of the photos are vintage shots. One of the "body in white" race Challengers is shown, as well as a Challenger that was cannibalized for parts for the race car. The Challenger that Chrysler gave to Sam as a driver is also shown.

You can see the photos here;

He's a hero, I have a bunch of black and white pictures of him and his car all over the garage.  Thanks for the extra pictures!
