Factory sponsored events to get those pesky hot rodders doing something productive and buying Mopars.

The only difference is the cover art.

The Plymouth trouble shooting contests pitted promising high school auto shop students against others in a national competition, sponsored by Chrysler Plymouth division.
It was in effect throughout the 60's and into the 70's. similar New Plymouths were "rigged" with 10 different "problems" and the team that found and corrected all 10 in the least time won.
It was a very prestigious contest to win. Trophy's awarded and opportunities offered.

A friend had a fender cover like this one from his participation in the contest.

While I was looking for this image, I spotted these... Wow! Wouldn't they be a great piece for your trunk!

I've never seen the tool boxes, I was an alternate for my HS team in 1964. really cool stuff there. May have been a regional thing. Or perhaps a national finals item.

I've never seen those boxes either until my search today. I can't say that I've ever seen a box that tapers down from the top like that.

Briefly looking through the book, I like it because it seems to have more troubleshooting info than the service manual. Service manual seems to be geared more to how to replace part x while this is geared more to how to determine what's wrong. Also, and probably more important, it's a cool piece of history. Thanks again bluefury361
