Funny how the angle of a picture can throw off the idea I had already seen and posted that very car.
I read the restoration link.
What an outstanding effort!
From what they found to completed car......
I have done a restoration or two, or I thought I had.
Compared to that, I repainted something.
Post the link so the others can appreciate the work.

Here's a few more pic's of the A990 before it met it fate...

After the crash and left sitting in a field abandoned & stripped of all it's original parts here's what it looked like after the restoration...it had the wildest looking factory exhaust ever made.

That is Jimmy Johnson from Monroe LA. I think he got it from Bill Gibbs in about 1981-2. Kept it a while then Ron Cheshire had it. Don't know what happened to it after that. It was a
990 car.

The Cheshire Dodge is posted a few pics back (post #188). I took this picture from a website that showed both of them at the track at the same time(I believe).
Maybe there was more than one that wound up in Pine Bluff, Ark.

This is a picture of my great uncle Len Ford's Dodge he bought in 65. He sold Vanke's red "Tin Indian 1" to buy it. Anyone know about this car or what happened to it? My dad told me some stories about it being cut up but never knew what happened to it.
