An interesting note. I always thought the Fink 67 (Quick as a Wink, You can deal with Fink) was a Sox & Martin car because of its paint job. NOT!! Caroll told me their car was the white Hamilton Motors car that they painted.
 There goes another 'fact' I had wrong!!!  I was always under the impression, assumption, 'older race lore', that it was Sox&Martin's old car. I gave Carroll some old pics of the car I took and he was over joyed with them,,,according to the messenger. I guess it's just another myth/legend busted,,,I am now honestly confused on other race lore I have always reveered!!! 
Kinda' like the time I was told there wasn't REALLY a Santa Claus....

Mark, I for one would really enjoy any information that could be provided on RO and WO cars. The car currently on Ebay made wonder if a registry for these cars had ever been attempted. They, I believe are the rarest of all the HEMI special package cars. These along with the A12 and '68 HEMI A-body cars are my favorite. Go for it. Frank

As for Ray Christian, he raced 4 67 Hemi Belvederes and one Hemi Coronet w-o car named "The Beeleiver"owned at that time by Starkey. The 67 cars that he raced were, a 67 Hemi Belvedere 2 door sedan with a Hemi Scoop ( that he built), a 67 Hemi Belv.hardtop called "The Harrisburg missel",( that he built and I bought in 1973), a white Hemi Belv. with red frosted paint around the edges, and a real nice silver Hemi 67 Belv. Hardtop. One of the last 2 that I mentioned caught fire out in front of his shop and again, one of those 2 cars Ray told me was the old Jere Stahl car. Another one of the local 67's was raced by Sam Brooks , and was called "White Lightning". Then there was a guy named Gorden Wallace, AKA,"Buzzy" Who raced a 67 Hemi Belv. Then there was "The Roar-N-Hemi" owned by Phil Roar. Marcusic was the original owner of that car, then Dave Miller, then Sam Brooks, then Phil Roar and then to the present owner. Phil Roar had 3 original r-o cars and has a wealth of info. I just talked to him today about this stuff , and I should talk to Sam Brooks too. As for Ben Morgan , don't remember him having a Hemi car. He was world famous for his Max Wedge cars.If someone is going to do a CORRECT history on these cars, they should get started NOW while the original drivers are still around.

Ah, a tale of yore – In 1967, I wanted a 67 Street Hemi car - and went to my local Dodge dealer. He looked for one, and found one (white with black 4 speed) in Pahokee, Florida (no joke) – well hooked up the trailer, and with one of his sales people - headed to Pahokee - it is on the south side of Lake Okeechobee – picked up the car, with the headers, battery, and carb isolator in the trunk, and decided to drive it home – and I did - oh well another that has disappeared.

Here are a couple from my old photo bucket site. 14 pages I think. Some are real and some are just cool cars. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v222/gothemi/
So the bartender says to the horse " Gee, Why the long face?"
