Steve does own the Weakley car. I used to drive it. The last guy to run it was John McCormic (spelling?).Steve was going to try and campain it as a SS/BA. Its led a hard life. Steve also had Jerry Caros old Dodge which was completely restored back to original and sold to someone in Washington I believe.

Just noticed that on a few of them. I guess removed for weigh and plexiglass windows or maybe fiberglass doors?

How bout Virginia's Dave Lewis's 65 (Big Red) that he got new? I have the original top end of the motor, wondering where the rest of the car is?
I see Pee Wee Walance's car pictured and that is here restored locally.
I think Herb McCandless got one to but was later destroyed.

There was another Hemi 65 ran out at Richmond Dragway here in Va. called "Rat Trap" by Cline Automotive 40 years ago that was supposedly a 990 car?

The original Black Arrow 65 RO Hemi Plymouth super-stocker was later modified into an AWB car, and after a hard life of racing I heard that it was crushed!

Just got off the phone with my grandfather. Asked him if he remembered the Nick Serpa car and his answer was "Yeah...that's our car" (meaning "The Hemi Countdown" currently owned by Mark Vieira which grandpa purchased new in '65).

I had no idea!

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.


Back in 1965, there were 3 A990's running out of Ray Christian's Garage in Harrisburg,Ohio. The "Apex" The "Daring Dodge" and a Plymouth. What happened to those 3 cars? I remember Ray telling me he won 80 straight races with one of the Dodges. Ray was the man that had his fingers on many cars in a large radius of his shop. There are some great stories about him.
