That looks like it could be BG standing behind the car in the blue shirt.

I know the Bagwell Red car and the Leal 65 A990 from the 70's is the same car, but is the Bagwell Blue car the same?

Shirl Greer's A-990 Coronet did not retain its factory built sheetmetal for very long.


This is how it looked towards the end of the 1966 racing season.

Does anyone know of a black '65 Plymouth A990 sold new in Belmar, NJ ?

Nope. But I've been to Belmar several times.

Now that's 'funny.' Just joshing...it's sad, really. Why not start with a six-cylinder or car from the wrecking yard that was written off by the insurance company (but still fixable) if you're going to butcher it? I know hindsight is 20/20 but still, these racers had to know that these were factory special, low (as in very low) production models.

My 69-1/2 road runner isn't that rare, and isn't that cut up, but I talked to Arlen Vanke about it since the mods were done in his shop and he said it was just the way it was. Nobody thought twice about it, they just wanted to race.
