Question For You
Is Jerry Epperson's Plymouth SS/BA car Steve Bagwell's old car? It looks so familiar to me. Jim

Re: Question For You
Don't think it's Bagwell's old car. Jerry use to run brackets with the car at Knoxville Dragway when I raced there starting in the early eighties. He also raced IHRA Super Stock with it during that time. Didn't Bagwell have his car until much later than that?

Re: Question For You
I believe Bagwell's car went to DeFrank & Cohen - where it was painted the same as their 'famous' Barracuda - and then to Ken Montgomery. I think Ken still has it.

Re: Question For You
Philbilly I remembered racing with him in the early eighties at Knoxville and don't doubt he's had it even longer. Jerry deserves credit for maintaining/updating it at a very high level. Impressive what he has done compared to some of the highly funded Hemi car owners over the years.
Seems like his brother played a big role in the car but afraid I don't remember his name.

Re: Question For You
Thanks guys, it's just that Jerry's car LOOKS so much like Steve's car and I have some very fond memories of the old girl from back in the day. Steve and I were very good friends back then. In fact Terry and I still live within miles of each other, as we did when we were boys still living at home. But I digress. Thanks for the info. Jim
Oh and congrats to you again Phil, Jim is still on cloud nine!! .

Re: Question For You
I actually have the honer to drive Jerrys cars. The sweetest rides I have ever drove. He has 2 of them now, twins. One he has owned for 39 years, the other for 18 years. Jerrys brother Danny that helps him out just happens to be my dad. Lol
