Herbjr, if you are talking about the red&white cuda, I bought it from Stout at the end of 1985, I raced during the 86 season in division 3. After racing ended I broke the motor on my dyno. I sold it to Eddie Smith in the spring of 87, after that who knows?Gregg

That car was built by my dad in 1979 and he ran it for 4 years. I drove the car for only 4 months before he sold it to Dale Meers of Buffalo Ky. Dale then sold it to Stout. So yes that is the car. Who knows where it is now.

If Eddie Smith had it last the IRS took all his cars and Royce Freeman had all of Smiths cars and trucks, Royce had two 68s one is listed on racingjunk.

Eddie and Mike were able to get rid of a LOT of stuff before the IRS got involved. Family dispute started long ago!!!

Gregg,

Are you talking about the Hemi convertible? If so, sonny used to bracket race it in AL between events, I often wondered what happened to the car.

Jim- I hate to hijack the thread, but if you are referring to the 70 hemicuda that Sonny drove for the Collins and Jones team, I bought that Cuda from Phil Collins in 1990 and I still currently race it in NHRA SS/DA and SS/EA. Far as i know, it is the only SS Hemi convertible that is actively being raced. Search www.autoimagery.com "mike bogina" for about 70 or so pics.

Mike,

Sonny, David Rampy, Horace and other AL racers used to come to this little dinky strip called Green Valley and race 1/8th mile brackets. It was sort of a gathering of friends to race for a couple of hundred dollars. Really a lot of fun!
