A short history of Mr. Norms 1969 Dodge Charger Funny Car Mr. Norm’s Grand Spaulding Dodge 1969 Super Charger has a celebrated history. Debuted mid season in 1969, it replaced it’s two time burned out predecessor. This car was truly new from the ground up, sporting a new chassis as per chief mechanic and driver, Gary Dyer’s suggestion. The virgin voyage took place during the Coca-Cola cavalcade of funny car championship. Despite setbacks with the previous cars, the new super Charger won the championship with Gary Dyer as the driver and mechanic- quite a testament to the team’s winning spirit. In 1970 the car returned to the funny car wars with Kenny Safford at the wheel and Gary Dyer spinning the wrenches. 1970 was a very successful year, with constant competition in match races; and many NHRA events, including the US Nationals in Indianapolis. At the end of the 1970 season, the Super Charger was retired and parked. It stayed in Chicago in pristine condition. It is still replete with it’s original lettering and equipment, such as tires, wheels, parachute pack and more. This car is truly a survivor and new resides in a private collection in sunny San Diego.
