Mopar Missile

There were three Missile cars sponsored by Chrysler. The first was a ’70 Challenger that Dick Oldfield drove. It was updated as a ’71. At that point, Don Carlton joined the crew as driver. The second car was a ’72 Barracuda. The third was a ’72 Duster. Carlton drove these last two cars.

The 'Mopar Misssile' (Duster) was a 1972 (later modified to a 1973 with the addition of a new grill and taillights) Pro-Stock Plymouth Duster driven by Don Carlton. It was the third in a series of Mopars.

That Challenger, the first Missile, was initially named and raced as the “Motown Missile.” That name got changed (after the Barracuda-based Motown Missile) to “Mopar Missile” because of confusion with another famous Detroit company using Motown in its name, Motown Records. From then on all the cars were Mopar Missiles.
