Is the Joe ralph Thompson red 64 plymouth originally from Virginia?

Thanks

Re: Joe Ralph Thompson
 

Rison Arkansas was his home. Not sure where some of his early cars came from.

Re: Joe Ralph Thompson
 

The AWB Plymouth was originally a 1964 lightweight MW and the first owner was stationed at Ft. Benning. That was the car that Derwood Reep drove in B/A. Ron Cheshire drove the other red Plymouth in B/G. Joe's daughter, Robbie, would know the cars the best.

Thanks.
Send me a pm if you have her contact information.

Re: Joe Ralph Thompson
 

I let Robbie know about the post on her dad. Hopefully she will come on here to answer questions.

Re: Joe Ralph Thompson
 

sounds good. I gave her contact information of the cars current owner

Re: Joe Ralph Thompson
 

I have communicated with her as well. She mentioned she would post up here soon.
As to another board I am on where mention of the location of the original hemi from the Dart was, I asked Robbie about it. She said "Tell them to run it and if it blows up it was probably a JRT hemi". LOL

Here's a picture Hemi Moose sent me a long time back for safe keeping:

That is one of the photos the previous owner got from Joe hisself. I've posted those photos all over the place. I scanned them in years ago from the old photos. Occasionally someone posts a new one.
