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?

OK, I just heard back from Stewart. This is what he had to say:

"yep, it was the S&M A/MP car --- after Pomeroy it went to Warfel and after that I do not know -- it was wrecked about 15 years ago, but I believe it is being "restored" now"

Hope that helps...
