I rember watching the Coal Digger at my local track (Paducah, Ky.) when it was new. Many times it was Bennet vs Bowles, so it was always a good race.

As far as I know, Paducah was the last track the car went down before it was sold to Bill Bruce. Probably late Oct. or November of '76. Might've been a super stock meet of some sort. Which Bennet was that? With regard to the Best Mustang S/S All Time, who really ruled the 60's? I know there were a lot of big names that ran the factory CJ's, but who were the drivers/cars that took home the trophies? |

Hi guys Im a newbie here, I ran across this thread doing a search for the coal digger mustang. I have a good friend trhat purchased that car from Harold Stout in 1985, and it has sat in his private collection since then. I'm going to try to post some pictures of the car as it sits, he was happy to see some people remember the car. If anyone has pictures of this car in action and you would like to share or sell them Im sure he would be glad to see them. He also has Tom Schumacher's 69 Masheter Ford Mustang .If anyone has any pictures of this car in action at the track or where ever he would be glad to see them. He is getting the Masheter stang ready for another run down the quarter mile soon.Thanks alot guys I always enjoy reading about the "good old days!!!!"
These pics are of the cars as they sit right now in my friends private collection of Ford Drag race and muscle cars. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Thanks for sharing the pics. That '69 looks like a time capsule.

Your welcome guys, my friend just bleeds and lives for the old super stock wars way back when. He leaks blue oval info and has one heck of an collection of old super stock and Ford performance parts from years ago, I'm a tried and true Bowtie guy, but I learned to respect the oval stuff looking at his collection. were starting to get his 67 427 Fairlane together that he bought when he came home from Vietnam.
Heres a peak into the Stoudt car, he has not touched these cars since he parked them, as far as I know!!If theres interest I could maybe post more pics of these cars. ![]() |

Carl Holbrook died about ten years ago, better known as Captain Cobra Jet.
