I remember seeing this on tv once, late at night, early morning back in the mid 1980's on a weekend. Never could find it again, till the net and tube came along. Awesome! The DLI cars rock.. RIP Dick....., you earned it, and then some.....

Landy had some of the nicest car's around back in the day! Or I should say there were a lot of beautiful car's back in the day!!! Thanks for the video.
Dig that Challenger reachin for the sky at 1:20 I'm a Chevy fan but that HEMI makes a good sound at 7k rpm... RIP Landy, Jenkins, and the first 3 years of pro stock
Dick Landy was my hero growing up. He's the one that turned me into a "car racist". That's what my son calls me... nothing but Mopar! Of course, my son and daughter both own Dodges! When I put my first stroker Big Block in my truck back in '91, I went to Dick's shop in Northridge to get it built. I finally got to meet my hero in person. He was really nice. His son and brother... not so much. I learned a lot since then about Big Block Dodges. I bumped into him a couple times after that at Sprig Fling in Van Nuys. Again, he was very friendly with me. We talked for quite awhile. I got to say goodbye to him and his wife as they drove off in their PT Cruiser. A big influence on me. And I've returned the favor selling Mopars to anyone who will listen... or won't. LoL!

when i was in high school dick showed up and talked about car safety,ect. i asked him where his cigar was and he said the principal wouldn`t let him bring it. cool guy. thats how i broke most of my 4 speeds. chula vista high 1970 or so.
Wow, Dandy Dick Landy and Ronnie Sox, them 2 Mopar guys were something else, watching those guys, that's how I mastered of how to shift a 4 speed in a Mopar!!! I ate Fords and SHITTED Chevys!!! Mopar or no Car, Long live the Kings of Mopar Pro Stock Drag Racing!!!
this may be the coolest vintage video ive seen on here ! even the old skool music . real down n dirty racing then! get your hands dirty bitches !!! MOPARRRRRR
I love the cigar in his mouth tearing down the track. The glory days of drag racing.
I was lucky to watch all the great racers in the 70's.

Dick Landy one Racing Hero. Dodge City , Rockford , Il Thanks for taking the time to show a kid stuff on Your '67 Dodge Coronet Racer
Real Men row thru the gears.
Mopar was the Muscle Car!
If it's a RWD American car that's got a V-8, bucket seats, auto or manual and does burnouts, I like it. Doesn't matter to me who manufactured it.
Nothing better than riding a Motor! Is what it is!
