Bert, just a note but if you post that photo in the "Chrysler-the early years thread" it covers the '62 thru '65 Mopars..so if you have any questions about it, it might get answered in there.

Maybe there was more than one that wound up in Pine Bluff, Ark.
It could be I have Ron's car mixed up with another. I talked to Jimmy about his car when he was selling it, then Cecil and I ran into Ron and Harris in La. at an IHRA race and I thought I remember him saying that it was Jimmy's old car. It was along time and many brews ago, so who knows.Thanks for posting the picture, the 65 Dodge a990 is my favorite car of all the HEMI cars.

Here's a few shots of the '65 Melrose Missile Belvedere hardtop not sedan that was raced in the A/FX class...still without the front & rear wheel modifications done.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 
Not sure who's driving the Melrose Missle in the bottom picture, but it looks like a young Cecil Yother. I'm not up on the "Missle" story, but when did Tom Grove leave and Cecil came in? What were the circumstances behind the change? Is that around the time Tom switched to the Fords?
I've ran into Cecil a few times in recent years at swap meets up here in the NW, but haven't bothered him for the story as hes always walking around with his wife and I don't want to pester him too badly. Hes been kind enough to autograph some magazines and the Missle die cast I have,, a very nice gentleman.
Anyone know the Melrose Missle history and story?

I am sure it's in good hands. I would have kept in touch but the computer I had your info on crashed, and I haven't talked to Jim lately.
