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

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?

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.

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.

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!!;)

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

DEFranks early car was a 64 Dodge, I took some pics of it at the 84 Gators.
