I believe the Hagen A990 was crashed but I believe it may have been in eastern Canada.

Ray Barton owned the Hagen car when it crashed, the car is kinda still around

RO51:
"kinda", sounds interesting. Thanks for the update.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

A co worker owns an A990 that Bill McKesson used to own. The story is that it was crashed in Canada and repaired.. Does anybody have the real insider info on this car?
It does have all of the unique A990 hardware on it.

See you at the races,

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

i think it is best for all parties involved that the discussion on this particular a990 stops on the internet . It would be best if people want to discuss this a990 call the person who is suppose to be in possession of what was left of the car and he can verify by way of documentation if it still exists.

Looking for information on dodge A990s sold at Grand Spaulding dodge. Does anyone have a list of original owners?
Any information would be helpful. Thanks

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

According to Darrell Davis there were 18 that passed through Mr Norm's hands. No particular order.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Just noticed the first altered wheel base pic it has leaf springs which are missing in the injected AWB pic.

Rear wheels are even moved a bit more forward in the last picture.

Progress I suppose.

Great set of comparison pictures.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I see some unique similarities between the Fenner Tubbs '65 Plymouth and the Jake's Speed Shop Plymouth of Candies and Hughes fame. Might it be possible that this is the same car with later bobbed rear quarter panels?

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

There is an A990 for sale named " THUNDER II ", #48 of 101, supposedly documented. Anyone know any history of this car? Sorry if this was discussed before, I would like to know if there are any issues. Thanks.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I just found the info I needed on the "THUNDER II" car. Thanks

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Hoping some of you long time east coast racers may be able to help with any information on ownership history...

I purchased Jack Wersts 65 5&50 65 Plymouth from Ken Montgomery in 2006. As some know Ken raced it in 1976 then had an accident with Dean Nicopolis in the turn off area at Indy. Nicopolis fixed his front end damage and continued racing that weekend,but Ken's car got hit in the driver rear quarter and flipped over. Ken never repaired it.

In talking with Ken he said he got it in the Scranton,PA area but couldn't remember who he got it from. Anybody remember who might have raced it before Ken did in 1976?

I also talked to Fred Ristagno(Hemi Fred), and he remembered a guy named Van Palmer who might have owned it around 1969. Van also raced a max wedge car called the Beach Comber if that rings any bells.

Here's some photos from back in the day, how it looked when I got it, and the resto up to this point.

You can email or call me at 515-227-1064. Thanks,Alex

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Ruined it if you ask me. Why not get a plain Jane six-cylinder or 318 model if you're going to drastically modify it to this extent? I know, I know, they were 'just' race cars built and sold to be raced but this is RIDICULOUS.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I heard that story before but didn't realize this white Belvedere was not the original Triple NIckle car of Kenny's.

P.S. Speaking of Triple Nickle, what relevance does that name have? I've been wondering for DECADES. Anyone know?

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Alex - I was born & raised in Scranton and still active racing in 76, but I can't remember that car coming through there. In 74 I did talk with Ken on buying his 65, but we're weren't able to come together on a deal. I'll check with my contacts still back in Scranton and let you know what I can find out. Super Joe.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

some where i have a pic of the the car from Late 75 early 76 just after Ken got the car.
It was white at that time with small red and blue stars all over the car.A place called CSE were putting the tubs and roll bar in just before Gainsville.There Phone # 215-855-5590 Ask for Billy Sherwood he may have pics of car from when he worked on it.
The 555 was Kens Parents or Grand Parents street address.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

In 1965 the quickest and cheapest way to build an A/FX racer was by purchasing an A-990 sedan which already had all of the good race parts present. We must remember that Chrysler put its entire 1965 Motorsports budget into the altered wheelbase hardtop fleet which was deemed illegal by the NHRA at the very first national event of that year. Chrysler was so disappointed that they would never offer another altered wheelbase car to anyone beyond the original run of 11 cars. The public went nuts for thses freaky looking wheelstanding beasts and racers could not build them or book them quick enough. I belive that this is the primary reason for the scarcity of A-990 sedans today.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

GLAD You Got The Car Alex......

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Generally speaking, yes, nobody had ANY idea--they were just race cars. Still, those cars weren't cheap. If I bought one with my hard earned dollars, I most certainly wouldn't have modified mine into an altered wheelbase match racer. No way. And that's not 20/20 hindsight talking either.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Finally! After all these years of wondering (not that I lost any sleep) what it meant. Thanks! In retrospect, I just should've asked Kenny the many times I've seen him at Raceway Park, Atco Dragway and Carlisle car shows over the years and talked to him but the thought never crossed my mind.
