I have been told that was an original Hurst/Sox and Martin car, later owned by Pomeroy, then sold to someone in the Ocala, Fl. area.

The first drag race I attended was a bracket race at Gainesville in early 1980, and there was a man named Tom Shively running a Hemi Cuda there at the bracket race, and I was told this was the car.

I know the car that Shively had was sold to someone else in the area then sold to another person in south Fla. and I am told the car was destroyed when the throttle hung open on the car inside of a garage.

Can anyone verify this?

It is the old Shively car.It was also owned by Glenn Warfel,and if I'm right,Tom bought it from Glen.It's a old Sox& Martin A/MP car... IIRC.Tom sold the car to the Welch Brothers and from what I heard,is being restored back to the Sox & Martin timeframe.I don't know about it being involved in an garage accident. I do know it got ladder bars and was re-painted I think in 1981 or 82,

Chris;

From what I have been told the car was purchased from Pomeroy by Caroll Fulford who lives in Ocala, and later Fulford sold it to Shively. Your version may be right though.

Thanks Jason for making the effort to give us some information on these old cars.

OK, I just heard back from Stewart. This is what he had to say:

"yep, it was the S&M A/MP car --- after Pomeroy it went to Warfel and after that I do not know -- it was wrecked about 15 years ago, but I believe it is being "restored" now"

Hope that helps...

Looks like a Bobby Yowell ride/s that I remember, from the early '70's
They were big into the mural paint schemes. I remember at the '72 U.S. nats. they had a scene with old wooden ships on the trunk lid, and it said, Wooden ships, on the water.....Very free. Or something to that effect. I have a picture someplace......

Good morning All and a Great New Year to each of you. As Jason said, I have a good collection of old Mopar photos, most of them of the Mopar Missile. The photos were supplied by Dick Oldfield, Joe Pappas, Dave Koffel, John Wehrly, Dave Christie, and others. I am trying to save and share these historical photos. If you have any old photos, I would be honored to scan them to disc for you. There is absolutely NO CHARGE - I EVEN PAY THE RETURN POSTAGE. I do not use the photos for any commerical gain at all. And if you are looking for any Missile photos, please feel free to contact me via my profile email.

I hope a lot of you all are planning to attend the Hemi Reunion, in August, and we get a chance to meet and try to relive the old days, thru our shared memories.
