    Sam Posey - Driver of the #77 Challenger in 1970
    « on: October 27, 2008 - 08:19:43 PM »
    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!

    I think the antenna thing has been answered. A few times.  ;)

    I do love vintage photos.  :bigsmile:

    Barry on my web site I have an artical from a Oct.1970 Auto Driver mag. It has that same pic as you have on your site. If you want to use the artical go ahead and take it. I have the mag here if you need it in a larger scan.
