Where are they now!?

Where are they now!? - 04/12/24 11:40 AM

I thought I'd share some of the people/cars that inspired me in one way or another either here on Moparts or local to me. It'd be nice to know the whereabouts of some, maybe inspire them to stop-in occasionally. I'll be adding some as time comes but, feel free to add to the list (with pics!) Or even give an update to answer...where are they now?

They all look familiar!

Jstollfu had a badass stick shift A body, loved watching that one run. I'm sure I have a couple pics.

I loved Bubba's 65 back when it was a street car, and have more memories of it that way.

I saw the Petty Blue Willy's at CJ Racecars getting an update to run a Screw blown billet Hemi. Check on Facebook and YT.

Ross had 2 of those blue Willys. I saw the original one at Milan last year. The 2nd one was far more advanced.

I looked at that one on FB and I think it's a different car because they said it had a steel body and both Ross's cars were 'glass IIRC. I know one of them was for certain.

Yes, Mario O bought the first one from him and last I saw was still racing it. The pic I posted was his second one about 2005ish.

The 'first' IDK but around the same era Gup touched the 7's, BigTime was in the 7's and Gary Robbins was there for 'head-up' cars. But I'm sure I'm missing some.

So what happened to Eddie/Elvis and the purple Duster? He used to be all over YellowBullet, then disappeared.

Well, then it sounds like I haven't missed much since the last time he posted here 20 or so years ago!

I blocked that jerk on Facebook. He’s as Liberal as always. Remember when he took up a collection to make drag week then had mouthed everyone on here.

Same thing on BK's old site. Him and Cope arguing politics ruined it for everyone.
