I got this photo from Hemi Fred yesterday. I don't know where he got it, so I can't give credit to whomever owns the rights to the photo. Nice shot of Joe Ralph Thompson's Plymouths. The one I own is on the trailer in the back. It's at the Bushmaster museum in Missouri. It was in Garlit's museum for about 15 years.

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.

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

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

I wish I could help you further. Sanford did buy the car new and it was originally white. I was in the car a bunch when Dad drove it and it had the factory pushbutton shifter. It is possible Sanford bought the car with a 4 speed and converted it. As far as I know, Sanford still lives in Little Rock, AR. Might try and look him up.
