Hey, Does anybody know if the Jim Hale Car in the pic is the same car that became white and black and was sponsered by Mopar Performance?

The red car did become the white and black one. I was helping Jim and SE Buchannan from 1990 to 1995 and did quite alot of work on that one and the Daytona GT that David Bogner has. The 65 was a built car, not original. It went to Southland when Jim quit for awhile.

Someone mentioned Ron Cheshire. I remember in about 1983 Cecil Petty was racing a 1965 Coronet in SS/CA (Mopar Mastadon). I was crewing for him and we went to an IHRA race at a converted horse track in La. Ron came with a 1965 Dodge I think he said came from Jimmy Johnson is northern La. I believe he got it from Bill Gibbs. Harris Mabry was with Ron and had a white 67 WO23. That Harris had some pretty good stories about his racing days.

I THINK the one on right is Lloyd Wolford next is Ron Cheshire and on the left is Harris Mabry my thoughts...Later J,Smith 4621 racing.

Mr. Jimmy Smith wins the prize, for correctly identifying all three, Hemi Super Stockers! I talked with Lloyd today at his place in Jonesboro. I showed him the picture (and MSR). He was blown away by the old pictures.

Here are a couple of quotes off that message board with the '65 A990 Coronet Ron Cheshire owned back then...anyone else here know these people, and who owns the car now.

I raced with all those guys. Harris is a character not easily forgotten. Lloyd and Ron are truly some great people. A friend of mine and I almost bought a '68 Camaro C/SM car from Lloyd called the "Outhouse Mouse". That was in his days before the Hemis. Ron is someone I call a friend. I still have a business card from him when he worked for Southwestern Bell. Harris . . . well, Harris is a good ole country boy - none better.

Outhouse Mouse and Mabry&Terry !!!!

Was it Ron Cheshire that drove the candy red 64 Dodge 330?

Don't know who's it is or if it's a real one but man, I would like one ride before I die!
