I forgot what I had read after a few days. Old Guy's account clears up the history of that car. Thanks. Robert's question is still the same question I have. Did the car end up being owned by Bud Spears. The car Bud had was painted a beautiful candy apple red and was lettered with the words "It's Hemi Time" on the doors. I saw this car with the tree sprouting up through the engine bay around 1987 or 88.
Hey Dan Moore, you're #1.
