I just saw this car the other day advertised for sale on a Mopar-related site or ebay!
(But I haven't been able to find it again.)

Thanks Myron,

I feel fairly certain that the photo in one of the posts is Booth's old 69 Bee. It would be a serious coincidence if there were another green one like that around! If it is the real deal I would restore it back to the way it was raced right down to the very last decal and then head for Barrett-Jackson!

Ed, It doesn't seem to be the same car. I believe his cars all had his name or "Billy the Kid" on them.
Here is a photo I found of his 'Demon:

Speaking of Rossi's Challenger. I remember one year they put him right next to our B/SA car at Indy. As soon as he found out we were pitted next to him he packed up and moved. Tex and I took showers that morning so it could not have been BO.
I wonder why the abrubt move. LOL LOL

I have a question about the purple Cuda of Stewart Pomeroy near the end of the page. Can anyone verify the history and/or the future of that car from the time that picture must have been taken.

I have been told that was an original Hurst/Sox and Martin car, later owned by Pomeroy, then sold to someone in the Ocala, Fl. area.

The first drag race I attended was a bracket race at Gainesville in early 1980, and there was a man named Tom Shively running a Hemi Cuda there at the bracket race, and I was told this was the car.

I know the car that Shively had was sold to someone else in the area then sold to another person in south Fla. and I am told the car was destroyed when the throttle hung open on the car inside of a garage.

Can anyone verify this?
