That looks like one I've got to get. I didn't know the Droke 65 Thunderbolt was found.

Thanks. The Droke 65 T-Bolt is still currently MIA. Many of the stories are of cars missing, while others are missing their history. A few of the stories are of recently found cars.

How many of you have read the book? I'm curious as to your feedback or to find out what story was your favorite.

There may be some new information coming in regarding the missing 67 Fairlane campaigned by Hubert Platt. Stay tuned!

What kind of a low-grade moron would steal the Darrel Droke '65 Thunderbolt?

It was a one-of-one, as far as I know, and though highly successful, would be like stealing the original of the Mona Lisa; what the hell could you do with it?
Anybody who saw it would immediately know what it was... a stolen car; you couldn't sell it and you couldn't race it.

What an idiot...

Hey Bill. That car wasn't stolen. The cover art on the book is in reference to the 69 Camaro of Joe Oldham's that was stolen. The Droke car is simply MIA.

I went to visit Randy Payne a few weeks ago and read the book on the plane. Very well written and a lot of good stories about missing muscle cars and race cars. I had a great time spending the day with Randy swapping stories from back when he was with the Ford Drag Team. I learned a lot traveling with Randy and Hubert Platt for a couple of months after Indy 1969.

Awesome stuff, Rusty!

Hopefully one day the fate of the Torino will be known.
