Really? Wow, it's great to know it survived all these years and is being restored (hopefully in Wally Booth's colors).
I believe it is being restored to the as raced by Wally Booth, look. Last pictures I saw of the car, it had been dipped, and E coated. Josh King owned the car for a while, and flipped it. It's in good hands now.

The flying Robin looks great but man, I wish they hadn't have updated it. I have a picture of that car from Englishtown taken in the late 90's in the original paint scheme. Love that car. I agree. It's a sin to do this kind of modification to such an rust free, intact car, an original Shaker hood car. Those radical mods you do to a rust bucket, a car that's not worth restoring. This 'Cuda was in excellent shape when I saw it in November of '89 and could have been easily restored back to stock. I have no idea what powerplant it originally came with, a 340, 383, 440+6 or HEMI. If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say it was a 440+6 'Cuda. Original owner Bob Scoscia & family.
