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.

That car I think use to belong to John Livingston right?

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!

I believe this was a "Tom Kasch" photo.....
