ive seen pics of that car before...NOT THOSE PICS...seems like 3 or 4 years ago..maybe on barn finds? i'm sure someone found that car and drug it out of a shed...or something..i cant remember exactly where..but i'll think about it

Wow, a sighting! Called the insurance company that insured my parents but no luck. Mark, if you think of anything please let know.

Good luck with your search.

Waay cool, looks tough also almost as if the WB is 1" forward @ the front?
Do you have any pics showing the plate...worth trying the DMV on to get the Vin?
Good luck!

These are the only two pics that exist to my knowledge. I am going to call the DMV tomorrow but this car was likely never registered being a drag car.

its been 9 or so years...i was still based in kentucky for work..it was in the auto trader or shopper or something and listed as a barn find racer..but i think it was in Cincinnati area...i used to go to Cinci all the time to hang out...and there was a ton of car shows..and swap meets..there was a weekly rag that was all cars you could get and it for free out of a box in front of stores etc.. covered 4 or 5 states

i used to live in southern Indiana right by the KY border...and i'm sure i saw it you cant mistake those grahics.

it was a roller...

I have kind of hit a dead end unless I can find someone that knows the car or a vin number. Not much to go off of unfortunately.

The guy he sold it to was Randy Cropenbaker and I have located and called him. His wife said he is out of town but she will have him call when he gets home so stay tuned...

Please keep us all in the loop. This is getting very interesting and I hope you manage to drum up some kind of lead. Coming here was a good start. These guys are all eagle eyes
