Does anyone have one of his cars ?? You see all sorts of survivors being drug out and restored and put back on the track, but I don't recall seeing a Billy "the kid " car anywhere. These cars had awsome paint schemes and would make a great nostalgia Pro Stocker. pic courtsey Hemi Fred prostockhemi.com 4805577-24.jpg (3233 downloads) Last edited by hemiparts; 11/10/08 11:48 PM.

Seems odd that of all the old race cars coming out of the woodwork, none of his cars. Anyone had any contact with Melvin Yow? Didn't he drive of his cars...??

They put together a new Pro Stock Neon team around 8 years ago and ran for two years with limited success. That car is now campaigned as the Motown Missle by Arnie Klann of California. I used to own Stepp's first Challenger (it no longer has its original paint scheme), which is now in the hands of a collector in MN. Stepp's Plymouth Arrow (driven by Ronnie Sox) is being raced as a Super Gas car in PA and the owner is well aware of its history. His Colt was totalled at Bristol by Melvin Yow after it was sold to Gil Kirk's Rod Shop, but before Kirk could take delivery. Ouch. The second Challenger and the Demon ended up in the hands of Carmen Rotunda and Rufus "Brooklyn Heavy" Boyd, but disappeared after Heavy was sent on a government vacation. IRS seizure? Don't know. The "Independent" Dart Sport? Also don't know. Stepp was upset when Chrysler cancelled his parts deal. The cars were painted by the "Egyptian", a friend of Ed Newton's and Big Daddy Ed Roth, who still lives and paints in Dayton, OH (Stepp's hometown). Mr Stepp is a very private person and is difficult to contact without a proper introduction. I'm pleased to say I'm one of the few history buffs that has made his acquaintance. Hopefully someone here knows of the Dart's location...

What happened is that they forgot to put the wheelie bars in position before the pass, and it rolled and was destroyed. Melvin was running the Dart Sport, and both cars were being campaigned. Yowell was another driver from the Dayton area, who had some prior success with a S&M built Duster. It was well known for it's beautiful paint scheme. I do not know what ever happened to Yowell or the Duster. His family had run a moving business in that area....I don't know if they are still around. Last edited by Steve1118; 11/11/08 08:44 AM.

Anyway, Stepp probably had more drivers than any other single car team. Dick Humpbert, Don Carlton, Herb McC (but only for one race), Carmen Rotunda, Yowell, Yow, Sox... I'm sure I'm missing a couple. BTW I've still noticed Yowell Trucking semis on the road in the not too distant past.

I saw the car several times, I was a 16 year-old and just trying to get my 318 Challenger on the road a guy befriended me and helped me get a few things sorted out on it. Turned out he told me to stop by his shop and had that Challenger, a 67 Hemi GTX, and a Gas Rhonda Mustang race car with the 427 OHC engine... I was amazed by those cars and still remember them well. I don't want to post the guy's name on here, but he was a very nice guy. Anyone else here know the guy from Muncie that I'm talking about? I am going up to visit my parents this year for Christmas, maybe I'll try and pay him a visit. Darren

If we're talking about the same guy, do you know how he is doing? Again, I haven't seen or heard from him in years, he had two boys that must be in their early 20s now, I am now 30 and they were a few years younger than me but not yet interested in their Dad's cars. The paint scheme, at least the name/lettering, looked just like the cars pictured above, it was definitely still in the Billy The Kid colors and lettering, maybe something extra was added that I'm not remembering now.

Being from Dayton and living right down the street from Yowell Trans. I was a big fan of Bill and Bobby and spent a lot of time riding my bike thru the parking lot just trying to get a glimpse of anyone or any car that might be there. One afternoon I rode up there and saw the cars of Sox, Stepp, Jenkins and I think Wally Booth as they were all pulling out headed to Kil-Kare for a Match Race. I remember begging my old man to take me to the track but he refused. Not sure where I got my love of racing but it sure wasn't from him.

They ran very good also as I remember the Challemger beating Sox ay the 71 Indy National's and Sox protested the car for to much weight on the rear. I believe Paul Frost was his eng builder but not positive on that. Ron

If you will please look close enough to any of the paint jobs on the car you will see one was the "Billy" car and one was the "Nina" car. Daddy gave us EACH a car. It's pretty faint to view but it's located on the door or front end. I am proud to be Bill Stepp's daughter and I thank everyone who has been so very kind and speaks well of my daddy! God bless to all of you! ~Nina

Billy was a great guy, I talked to him a lot of times back in the day....

Anonymous Unregistered A	There is a funny story regarding the photograph where my daddy and the crew dressed as mafia. Paul Frost, Stu McDade, my dad and "some model" went to the cemetery to have these pictures taken. When they were finally developed I looked at it and started laughing. I said, "Only you would have thought of that", he said, "I thought it would be funny to dress mafia." I then said, "No, the monument, the tombstone" that was when he looked to the right of Paul Frost and engraved on one of the standing tombstones is the name "Stept". Dad never planned this part of the photo...it just happened! God Bless, ~Nina Stepp Billy Kid Daughter Last edited by BillyKidDaughter; 01/02/09 04:26 PM.

I don't know where it is today.His brothers car is owned by Don Soloman I think. Where was the car from? The black one above was one of Stepp's cars and was purchased from Canada a few years back.

He told me all the cars were in a warehouse in Dayton and if I wanted to look at them. I declined but wish I would have took him up on it now. That was in the late 80's, so anyways it sounds like the collection was broken up soon after. Also my wife said Steppe rented a garage her Grandparents owned & they would block off the street and do "testing" on it. Last edited by greenpigs; 10/23/10 12:06 AM. 69 Charger RT
