Sure looks like the old girl. I was under the impresion that Ron Cheshier changed the paint before he ran it. Hard tio tell from the pic, looks like he changed to his name on the door. Wonder if he changed the rear plate to "RON WHO ?"
Nice find, thanks............anyone have anymore info or pics, I have a few I can get on here later.

The red car did become the white and black one. I was helping Jim and SE Buchannan from 1990 to 1995 and did quite alot of work on that one and the Daytona GT that David Bogner has. The 65 was a built car, not original. It went to Southland when Jim quit for awhile.

Someone mentioned Ron Cheshire. I remember in about 1983 Cecil Petty was racing a 1965 Coronet in SS/CA (Mopar Mastadon). I was crewing for him and we went to an IHRA race at a converted horse track in La. Ron came with a 1965 Dodge I think he said came from Jimmy Johnson is northern La. I believe he got it from Bill Gibbs. Harris Mabry was with Ron and had a white 67 WO23. That Harris had some pretty good stories about his racing days.

I THINK the one on right is Lloyd Wolford next is Ron Cheshire and on the left is Harris Mabry my thoughts...Later J,Smith 4621 racing.

Mr. Jimmy Smith wins the prize, for correctly identifying all three, Hemi Super Stockers! I talked with Lloyd today at his place in Jonesboro. I showed him the picture (and MSR). He was blown away by the old pictures.

Here are a couple of quotes off that message board with the '65 A990 Coronet Ron Cheshire owned back then...anyone else here know these people, and who owns the car now.

I raced with all those guys. Harris is a character not easily forgotten. Lloyd and Ron are truly some great people. A friend of mine and I almost bought a '68 Camaro C/SM car from Lloyd called the "Outhouse Mouse". That was in his days before the Hemis. Ron is someone I call a friend. I still have a business card from him when he worked for Southwestern Bell. Harris . . . well, Harris is a good ole country boy - none better.

Outhouse Mouse and Mabry&Terry !!!!


Was it Ron Cheshire that drove the candy red 64 Dodge 330?

Not such a recent build...I know that the 5&50 car WAS the white and black car that was Mr. Hales....the old paint scheme is still evedent in several places...I also have pics of Jack Werst with the car as it rolled out of the paint shop.....while it may not be a "real" 990 car...it will always be the "last" car that Jack Werst owned and raced...(still have the title in Jack's name)

So heres an interesting question...(Im sure there are lots of opions..)
Is the Car a clone? If an original Car is recreated by the original owner...I tend to believe that it is a second car...not a clone...it does carry quite a few original 990 parts...not that it matters a bit, it now enjoys a life in NSS where it will be raced and enjoyed as it was intended....hopefully seeing its first 8 second pass in 2012!!
