1972 remlinger olds

[dennis dunlap]

I had the pleasure of visiting with Bill (Fuzzy) Hudson several times at Beech Bend and at his home,,,, Many great stories about his past racing experiances on his front porch . I tried to buy his 66 tri-power car also. His red 70 car had a W-27 rearend under it when it was hit ,,,bought a few parts off of it . Wish I would have stayed on the former Dover car, seems like it only showed a few miles on the odometer , conversations with Bill will be remembered for a long time...

the car had only a few miles on it. when jimmy ordered the car he ordered it as a w31 at request of dover.he raced it from day one he only put a few miles on it to break it in.while driveing it the fuel pressure line broke and caught on fire under the hood burning off the factory screen. verry small damage under the hood.jimmy raced it for a wile then sold it to dover and as they say the rest is history.i should have bought it and allmost did.i am still very close friends with jerry jr he is like the little brother that i never had.we talk every day.i worked for dover sr for 10 years before i wen't in business for my self.and the origonal owner of that car was jimmy butler another close friend of mine.he passed away 3 years ago from agent orange he was a nom vet he was a tail gunner during nom.

Ive got the trunk off that red car. Rust free but warped. still original paint and pin stripe. Its on my 71 442 beater. I remember the red car circa 1980 at a small car show at the Bowling Green Walmart. Show consisted of maybe 10 drag cars from the area.




























Bill Hudson's old rust free warped trunk.

I remember the ex Dover and then Bill Hudson brown car had a sign on the dash. " When the green flag drops the BS stops". Also a license plate " Lee surrendered but I didn't." Seems like the dash on either the Red or brown car or both didnt have any ac or vent holes. Most of the time these non air cars have vents in the dash but this dash was filled in. Both cars had black interior I think.

with the race history of the 72 remlinger does anybody have any idea what is the worth of this car! barret jackson maybe.

I recall seeing some dash pads without vent holes, maybe in an F-85 post (sports coupe) car.
