Talked to a guy at the club meeting from Orange County and he said he owned a real B7 blue 70 Hemi Cuda race car that was called Magnum Force or run under Magnum Force racing? and bought from a police officer in Cerritos in 1978 or so.

That run a bell with me.

I've seen the picture of the members dad's 70 Charger with a huge magnum handgun on the side of it. But this guy said this Cuda didn't have that kind of lettering on it. And he said the guy didn't have a 70 Charger at the time. I figure it's gotta be the same police officer/racer?

Was that Bill Creech's (Lil Demon) dad?

Yep - that's me. But, my dad never owned a Cuda - just the Charger. When he sold it, he had it repainted black with gold pinstriping and the words "Magnum Force" were in small script on the rear quarter panel.

I don't remember seeing another "Magnum Force" car other than the funny car that started appearing around 1974. My dad put the MF name on the car in 1972 - and the movie with Clint came out I think in 1973.

Strange coincidence, I thought there would be a connection. Cerritos didn't sound right to me, but I thought you could have moved. I thought it could be a racing buddy of your dads. Must have been another officer that liked the Magnum Force name?

Do you know where that funny car was based out of? Or any names of people associated with it?
