Anyway Feb 72 Car Craft cover that might of had the John Mahoney engine http://www.carnut.com/cgi-bin/09/image.pl?/store/mags/ccmags/cc7202.jpg I never knew that Danny had a cutaway Hemi...?!?! It can't be the same one if its in the Garlits museum... are you sure Danny had/has one?!?! The 1972 Car Craft magazine only had the two page cartoon that disclosed the existence of the A-925 DOHC Hemi, and asked "where is it now?". According to the story that I heard, John bought the engine years later from a school teacher near Detroit after a tip from a legendary Mopar collector of the day... can anyone name the tipster and confirm the story?

Anyone know what they have done with the award winning HEMI 69 Coronet or Bee???? Haven't seen or heard from them in years........ Alan and Debbie divorced few years ago, and the BEE sold and now safely resides in Cincinnatti Oh, it's in good hands and in good company. afaik, Debbie still has ownership of the cutaway Hemi engine thats on permanent loan to Garlits museum Thanks for the update Bill, sad news, last time I talked to them was in 91 or 92 at the Hoosier Auto Show and Swap Meet if memory serves me correctly. They had the ol HEMI Bee sitting in the back of their garage with a false wall built in front of it at that time........... Steve

I never heard of Danny's dad having one.

Allen, That is the Charger, and Ron was quite an experience........he showed me the pics of his Charger stripped to bare metal and polished like a Delorean, I said he should have just clear coated it! There wasn't a ripple in the metal, much less any rust, it was near perfect & still is I'm sure. I know we discussed Chargers at length and he got a lot of pics of mine as it has never been restored and at that time only 26k miles on the clock. There were 2 Mopar Nationals or large Mopar shows in 84 if I remember right (which is tough anymore)......both at the INDY 500 track Steve Last edited by HEMIBULLITT; 09/22/10 04:04 PM.

Got rid of it to years ago, well not that many years ago but it was before I picked up the 500. It didn't work, or at least I couldn't get it to work, not sure if its back to working condition now or not. 1969 Daytona 440 L9B410772 1970 Coronet 500 383 Presently owned 1970 Superbird 440 U 166242 1970 Superbird 440 U 174597 1970 Superbird 440-6 V 179697 1970 Coronet RT 440 U 224126 1968 Road Runner 426 J 134509 1970 Daytona Replica 318 G 178701

Most of it is torn down and being replaced with a subdivision. Want to say 2004-2005ish was the last year it was actually open. Yes, it's completely gone now. We went to the Pirate Festival last Saturday that's held about a mile from where MAR was and I took some pics of the former MAR site. If you search Google maps for Scotti Rd or more specifically Valley Bluff Drive, Wentzville MO the satellite image shows where the track was. This pic was taken facing where the track was on Valley Bluff Drive. I resized it so I could post it here. There are 10 full sized pics at MAR Sept 2010 Pics Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

It be great to see some more of those old pics! I have been tied up with personal business, so have not had the time to scan in new pictures. I am still sorting out the tangled up 1985/1986 Mopar Nats & NHOA National Meet pics before posting more of them. Also still locating and organizing the negatives... its tedious work, but so far I have located 13 rolls worth of negatives (plus parts of two more rolls) from the 1982 CCCC in St Louis. I have organized & labeled over 100 rolls worth of old negatives, but have a lot more to do... I will probably start scanning & posting some of the 1984 Mopar Nats pics from Indy by this weekend, as those are mostly accounted for. XS
