Ironic note I build another SS/AA car (not original) and sold that to Jerry Jenkins, who won the 3rd Hemi challenge with it.

Alan Halsey...Red Bank Auto Parts...now that's a blast from the past! I remember seeing his cars (also a SS/DA 1970 Hemi 'Cuda) at Raceway Park, Englishtown, NJ in the early/mid-1970s. Thanks for the photo!

This is a Sox & Martin car, with some pieces of a Dave Wren car, to make it complete. At the time, all his engines & transmissions were built by Tim Richards. Car still looks to be in great shape, what with being stored for 37 yrs.

I saw Bob's car at the Chryslers at Carlisle show in 1993 celebrating the 25th anniversary of the 1968 race Hemi A-body cars. Car hasn't changed a bit!

I was at Bob's right after there last time at Indy looking at his trailer. It is a very nice car and he is a nice person.

There was an original B029 car on display in the nostalgia area at this weekend's national event in Seattle. Pictures show it is the former "Gentle Ben"- DeFrank & Cohen- Harry Holton car. It was sporting an original appearing engine, (valve covers, intake and carbs), but there was some upgrades to the car itself, such as M/T wheels and tires, Cheetah shifter, gauges, etc. The Cuda was painted all white. A cool car with some deffinate history. I see there is a photo of the car on post #85.
