Dad wanted to know if yall have ever purchased a car from Dick Henry? He had another 69 Convertible.

Your dad is exactly right. My dad sent the car that was in the fire back to Jeff Taylor's shop to have the motor, transmission, and rear end removed, gone through, and installed in the '69 Camaro convertible he purchased "rolling" from Dick Henry for $5000 (the car was his wife's stocker) . We still have that car today. It sits in my dad's garage under a car cover and he won't even let us touch it! LOL. Your dad has a great memory!

Here are a few of the photos I promised. I believe the 1st photo is INDY of 1984. The second two are obviously from the fire in 1985. It literally made us sick to look at them again.

Oh man.. Emmons... that's HORRIBLE

I bought my car in September, 1993. Here's my BelAir in 1998. Just a street car, with a pretty radically cammed 409HP 409 ( was a factory 6 cylinder car )

We enjoyed looking at the pictures. Dad said that was so sad. I know he wishes that he still had it as much as yall do

Curt,

Nice PR on your dad in the latest Drag Review.

Some of the young guys have no idea how he was (and still is, in my mind) a bad dude back in the "good ole days."

I never knew you guys used to own the Jimmy Morton/Jeff Taylor car.

Tell the whole family I said hello.

Thanks Mr. Doyle, I appreciate the nice comments about my dad.

Yeah, that was his favorite race car. He talks about it all the time!

Everyone here says hello and hopes to see you soon

Spell's trailer was not a converted horse trailer. It was a car trailer built by a horse trailer company. It was sold locally and several different people owned it.
