A990 Super Stockers

[James L Miller]

There was a mention of Sanford Bolin's roadster. I found these photos several years ago.

Hey James, so when are you going to restore that thing back to Joe Ralph Thompson's old paint scheme and take the blower off and put the Cross-Ram Hemi back in it...

Before the roadster there was a 64 Aluminum max wedge 4spd. Car had the wheels kicked up, glass 65 front end and injected hemi. The white 65 shown is not this car.

ww63, that pic of the white Plymouth AWB is Ronnie Sox '65 A990 sedan, notice the tail lights that are filled in...the others pics of the blue Plymouth with a '65 front clip, looks like a '64...I also seen another photo of one that was painted yellow w/black and Outlaw painted on the door...do you own this car now.

Hey Jack, is that you standing there with the sun glasses leaning against the truck...so what were you driving that day and can you name some of the other people in that old photo.

I remember Sanford Bolin's car well. My father drove the car for Sanford in 64 when it still had the max wedge in it. The car was originally a max wedge, aluminum front cap, heater delete, auto trans car. Not a 4 speed car as earlier stated. When Sanford altered the wheelbase and put a hemi in it, he also put a clutch flite trans in it. The last time I saw the car it was painted gold and yellow like the door in the photos.

Per the original chrysler IBM card and the Darrel Davis book it was built with a manual trans, The car still has remnants of the hump on the floor and the right holes in the firewall. Any chance that he put an auto in it. Would like to see more photos of this old car as we decide what direction to restore. thanks

John Rayford owned the car at that time.
No I'm the one just over rear window with sun glasses. I drove the alter wheel base, old S/M car and as I was driving the Poor Boy at that time for Sam, I may have been doing double duty that day. Can't remember that far back . But the truck in front was mine, and the guy at the door (with red hair and blue shirt) of Poor Boy was part of my team
Left too right they are,John Rayford , Harry Cambell, Me, Sam's neph.Sam just behind him (just see part of his head), Ronnie Hensley, and unknown last

Jim Wick was a Wisconsin based Super Stock and Pro Stock competitor and this A990 Coronet was still active at Great Lakes Dragway in the mid 90s.

The only thing I am certain of is it is sitting here and it is blue with the Sanford Bolin doors. Car has the original Sanford Bolin MSO, Vin tag and rear SO number. This thing has a red, white and blue hood. It would be nice to have more info and pics. thanks
