Mark,

You're right it was Bill Rhodes and he must have painted the car because it had well worn black paint on it when the Reed brothers had it (R&R). Harold and Horace Reed owned R&R and raced Mopars and built engines for a number of IHRA racers.

Jeff Cofield and his brother Steve lived just a couple of miles from me in Gadsden AL and were big Mopar guy's. There is no connection between the Cofields and the Reeds. Once Jeff told me that he sold a Hemi Dart to some guys in FL who came up th AL to pick up the car in a snow storm over Christmas. I never saw that car. His brother Steve had 2 Superbirds and a Daytona plus 4 or 5 Cudas in his basement.

I don't know about the '64 Plymouth but when I visited Bill he had just gotten an A990 car and I don't remember the color. He also had 2 Max Wedge aluminum hoods, the crossmember I alluded to and a ton of rare Chrysler paperwork about the racing programs and a complete set of papers and letters sent by Chrysler to the NHRA on the AWB cars and the Hemi race cars.

This was in '87-'88.
