Question 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.

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

Yes, DeFrank had the '64 Dodge 330 that Rick Johnson now has, but I'm 99% sure that he also had Bagwell's '64 Plymouth for a short while. If this isn't the case, the '64 Plymouth that Ken Montgomery has or had is painted just like the '68 Barracuda and the '64 Dodge that DeFrank had.
And yes, I know that Ken has had his '65 Plymouth since new. The '64 is an automatic and not a stick like the '65.
