This car runs and drives like it should and sounds awesome!
Mr. Norm’s in Chicago specialized in improving on an alreadygood thing. Mopars that came through Mr. Norm’s doors were dyno tuned toperfection and usually customized to meet the customer’s wants. Mr. Norm’s carsusually were trashed by their owners on the track and few exist today. Findinga Mr. Norm’s Dodge in original, almost like-new, unrestored condition is almostunheard of… much less a 1969 Dodge Hemi Charger!
A little history on the car… A Texas drag racer bought thecar brand new from Mr. Norm and specified that he wanted a hood scoop and hoodpins. A pair of hood pins, from the lift-off hood Six Pack cars, were mountedin the hood and a small fiberglass scoop was mounted over a hole cut in thehood. These modifications were done by Mr. Norm. Other modifications include an8 quart engine oil pan and strategically placed holes punched in the radiatorcore support and the K-member for extra weight savings. It is unclear if Mr.Norm’s did these modifications or one of the first owners that drag raced thecar.
The car spent several years in Texas where it was a stockclass drag car. The track time was believed to have been limited. During the1980s, the original owner sold the car to a Canadian racer, who did little withthe Charger after getting it home. The Charger spent most of its time in thegarage, due to financial woes. The bank eventually seized the Charger.
A Studebaker enthusiast purchased the Charger from thebank’s sale next. He rebuilt the Hemi engine back to stock specs. He thenparked the Charger in his warehouse where it remained for years. Afterrealizing he was never going to take interest in it, like he did theStudebakers, the Charger was sold again.
Mopar fanatic, Stan McCutchen, picked up the car and broughtit to Toronto for his friend, Roger Ritter in 1997. Due to setting in storagefor so many years, with little use, the Hemi engine had never really beenbroken in after the rebuild and was smoking pretty bad. Once again the Hemiengine (yes this is still the original engine) was torn down, bored .030 over,and rebuilt back to stock specs. Roger also installed a set of correct 15” rimsand reproduction red lines and a reproduction Year One exhaust system.
At Moparfest 1999 in New Hamburg, Ontario, Mr. Norm himselftold Roger Ritter this was the best original condition surviving Mr. Norm’s carhe’d ever seen. He also said “this is the only car we built that I’ve seenunmolested”. He signed the trunk lid, giving the car his seal of approval ascorrect and authentic.
