Jumping Jack Flash

[James L Miller]

Anyone remember a black RO Plymouth circa 1976 with this name on the side of the car? I saw it at a Chrysler test session at Bradenton about that time. I'm guessing that was a pre-Gators test and tune session. I remember the car was black with gold leaf lettering.

I see Jack Matyas runs that name now, but has a COPO Camaro. Did he run a Hemi car back then? I'm not sure if this should be posted here or in the Nostalgia section. Mods feel free to move it if I got it in the wrong section. Thanks.

I'm thinking Jack was a long time Pontiac racer before picking up the COPO not too long ago. Hes on here all the time, so he'll probably chime in.
