How about the late Dale Mineer's "Miss Coronet?" I remember seeing that car around 1997-8 at the MMCI show at Quaker City and couldn't believe how hideous the paint job was, lol. The more and more I think about that car though nowadays, I like it. 
Dale's son still has the Coronet. He raced it at the Clay City Mopar meet last October. SAME PAINT!!  Some chassis work was done in Kenova many, many years ago by Dave Mosley and Rich Hedrick on that car. Kinda hard to forget that paint job.

Good to hear it's still being run. Think there was any  or  going on when that was painted?

One of the nicest guys I've ever met, "Happy Harry" Holton has one that's currently for sale. Not sure of the history of that car, except Harry got it from Robin Pellesier (sp) in the late 90's (??) Another, that be bought brandy new in 65 is now onwed and has been restored by Mark Viera in Turlock, CA I believe.
Hopefully Julie or Jared will correct mf if I'm wrong...
You got it!

We got the car from Robin in 1996 according to the bill of sale. I'm trying to piece together that car's history a little bit better since we're in the process of selling it.
I've got a bill of sale from Robin Pellisier to Harry dated 5/17/96. I've got another bill of sale dated 4/23/87 that lists Anatoli Polewik of Ford Dodge, IA as the owner. Previous owner is shown as a Larry Wikoff from Washington, IA. Looks like a gentlemen by the name of David A Zeisser (sp? Can't read the handwriting) bought it from Polewik. I don't know any of the car's history in the years between Mr. Wikoff and the dealership.
I also have a couple of old timeslips (10.1's @ 132) that show car #5554. Anyone know who that might have been?
I also have the window sticker for the car. Was originally sold by McMahon Motors in Rawlins, WY. VIN# R051185655 on all documentation. Same # on the door jam.
We sold the "Hemi Countdown" (the one Harry bought new in '65) to Mark Vieira in '06 or '07, I don't remember which. Mark did a great job restoring the car to the way it looked in '65. It still is tubbed and has a chromoly cage, but paint scheme is exactly how it was campaigned in the '60's. Last I saw, it was for sale on the DuPont Registry website for $150k.
I'd love to strike it rich and buy both the cars and the "Hemi Countdown II" Dart now owned by a collector in NY. Nothing would make me happier than to own all of my grandfather's ex-racecars.

Hi Jared,
The car you guys have now is John Wilson's(Div 5 racer) first 65 Hemi Car before he purchased the Gruber/Kaase car. Wikoff got it from Jay Smith(Ironjay here on moparts), who raced it with John. Car was Don Ness chassis car at that time. When my dad(Anatoli aka Toli) had it he ran with a Tim Richards motor. I can't remember who John got it from(told me but brain fart right now).
Tell your Grandfather hi from us, probably doesn't remember us, but Toli and I met him when I purchased the Jenkins family 70 Cuda a few years back. They were nice enough to let us stop at Harry's shop and see all the great stuff going on.
FYI,
Alex Polewik
