Dennis do you know Clayton. If so do you think you can get him to give us some history of the car and some pics. It would also be great to get the vin# and details about where it came from.
Thanks

When I see him at the track I say hi don't know if he is on here. He races a u/sa wagon also.

Paul: Is there other cars that may have been produced and not recorded? The reason that I ask is that Trenda Motors in Grand Forks, ND received an automatic car. When it was delivered, one of the original Owens Corning windows was broken in shipment. The service manager raced it with a fabricated stock style glass until an original OC glass was shipped out. It took along time to get an original OC glass through parts.He moved and the car ended up in IL and raced with the old UDRA regional group of racers.I talked to the original owner about 10 years ago when he came back for a visit and he told me that he never cut the car up to be competitive with the UDRA while he raced it in the IL area. The car was sold way back in the seventies in the IL area. He also raced a new 426/425 auto 1966 belvidere I two door post car in SS/B and it was sold through Trenda Motors too.

Mr Big Six Man,

There is always a mention of a 1968 Factory Hemi Super Stock 'popping up' {Mystery Car} somewhere.

One that is always mentioned is the BO29 out of Brodlieb Motors in Woodmere, New York.
(Supposedly crashed into a telephone pole during a midnight test run).

And another BO29 found in a garage in Brooklyn, New York.

And another BO29 found in Northern - New Jersey.

Also Sox & Martin getting a shipment of several ('4') 1968 Barracuda 383 cars (less engine and transmission)
in July 1968 or at the end of the 1968 'Production Run' and converting them to SS/B or SS/BA cars, so they could
sell them for $10,000 to make some 'dollars'.

the car i mentioned being in the backyard in Wilson, NC had a Hemi hood on it and was undeniably a former racecar. i know the hood is something easily swappable from car to car but how many of those hoods ended up on other cars? maybe it was a legit car and maybe it wasn't but someone took that car and did something with it, hopefully it wasn't scrapped.

Charlie A., Clayton's "Slo Motion" was the original Thomas & Updyke car out of Tyrone, Pa., number 9 on the list provided.

I remember it when it was new, it raced a lot at old Peterson Memorial in Altoona. I sort of think that there was an owner between Thomas & Updyke, that Clayton is the third owner. But, I could be wrong....

I don't think it's been run for years.

In addition, the Lydon & Johnson original car is sitting in Jim Lydon's game room, in Pittsburgh. Really. I'll try to come up with some pics.

That must be some game room.
