Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

There was a mention of Sanford Bolin's roadster. I found these photos several years ago.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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...

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Hey Jack, is that you standing there with the sun glasses leaning against the truck...so what were you driving that day and can you name some of the other people in that old photo.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

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.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Here's a '65 A990 Coronet from an old magazine...anyone else here know anymore details about this one.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Moose, yeah I'd like to paint it back to the JRT paint, but no money to do that now. I have one of Sanford Bolin's Hemi's that was a Barnett Hemi from what I was told about it. It has RAZORBACK stamped in the heads above the exhaust ports next to the valve cover. Fred Ott contacted Steve from Steve's Speed Shop in Little Rock and he told us it was Sanfords. No injector setup though. It would be easier to put the blower setup off the MW and pick up a Hemi intake. I'd need new headers, but I have a used set of regular 64/65 B-body headers to replace the zoomies on there now. I think that is what they ran anyway from the photos.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

James, so is it safe to say that Hemi motor was originally in the old Sanford Bolin '64 Plymouth AWB that ww63 has now, or did Sanford have more than one '64 or '65 Plymouth back then...and what does Razorback mean, was that the name of another race car...

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I was told it was one of the Hemi's from the roadster. Sanford owned Razorback Transmission shop in Little Rock from the info I got. Ron Cheshier ended up with several of Sanford's Hemi's from what I was told. I talked to Ron many years ago after finding a receipt with his name on it. I haven't talked to Ron since he wife got sick. He had an SS/DA Camaro the last time I saw him in Ennis.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

James, okay got it now...so about your Hemi motor if it were me I'd personally sell the blower and put a injector setup back on the motor just to make it more period correct but that's just me...also can you explain the blower motor swap and body mod's that the car currently has now...does it have a wedge motor in there now, and who replaced the rear quarter wheel wells after they were radiused.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

The original fiberglass hood has been cutout, glassed back in and cutout again. The engine is a 471 inch wedge with 286 MW heads, 6-71 and Enderle hat. The blower intake is an Indy MW unit. The car had a Hilborn MW injector setup on it at one time. The previous owner didn't get much attention with the flat hood and MW injectors (short stacks), so on went the blower. Yeah, it would be more correct to have the injectors but it wasn't long before a lot of cars got the blowers. They were all obsolete after the flip-top cars came out, so there was a narrow time period there anyway. The fenders were probably done by Kemp Auto Body that did the paint. I was told they grafted in GTO fender panels.

There was some other Mopar parked next to it for a while at Garlits museum.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

It looks like Sanford Bolin is still around. I found a Facebook page for him and I've tried to contact him so we can verify the car and my engine. He is about 70, so I'm surprised he is online at all.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

What a teenage flashback I'm having!!!
I do not remember ever seeing that car run as an AWB with the hood on it.
Two toned and primer for years and then blue sometime in the early 70's.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Are those doors of the thin gauge steel A990's or the Aluminum A-864 variety?

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

The Coronet is still around, looks identical to that photo. I think it may have been at the Hemi Reunion, but I know the car is still run occasionally.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

Jimi, do you recall who your dad bought the '65 A990 Belvedere off of originally...so what are your plans for the car & post some current pics of it.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

moose my dad bought the car from steve lapointe in 1979 , steve bought the car from the cerrone's who were the original owners. i have the car apart right now to do some detail work on it, i would like to continue running s/s with it but budget does not permit that right now. honestly the car has been sitting unchanged since 1996 but i will post some pictures at a later time.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

here is a 65 my dad bought in the mid 80's from jim boyd i think this was # 21 , gary barnes bought it from my dad , i think it went to rick demarco at one point and it is one of the california flash cars today.

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

this is my dads car the day he got it home . it is the only pic i have now of the car with this paint sheme on it. i will try to make it bigger so it can be viewed better.

Re: A990 Super Stockers

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I got this e-mail from Fred Ott that owned this car and the Joe Ralph Thompson AWB car I own.

"That is Sanford's '64 light weight. The door is from the same car before he altered the wheelbase and put the fiberglass doors on it.
I put the steel doors and spoked front wheels on it before I got the red car. Sanford's alias is "Sleepyhead"."

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I wonder if this was Rudy Schlings old '65 A990 Plymouth...

Re: A990 Super Stockers
 

I have some photo's of the same car. I was certain the car was black but these B&W photo's are tricky. Anyone wish to add their opinion.
The car is apparently ruby red. It is the same car you see with the lab Technicians standing beside tinkering with the engine. The prototype car prior to being modified, sans single headlight and interior.
Looking at the wheel arches on the color photo from Jim Schilds book the interior is to be Tan, but interestingly the upper door frames are painted red. This would surely narrow down the search.
17 red cars, 2 with red interior. At a guess it would be the first red car released, early January.
