Re: Big Willie....... LA
 

Get this...that car was just found in the last 2-3 years still in Big Willie's backyard. A few Mopar magazines have interviewed him back in the nineties but Willie never mentioned the car was back there and nobody bothered to look back there either. Last I heard, plans were to leave it alone though it is a running car now.

I read a little about that on a Mopar sight last night. Showed some attached pictures, but non of them worked.

There is a guy from Kentucky on this board who claims to own Big Willie's car. Is this the same car mentioned in this thread?

I just don't know about these cars, but am very willing to learn more. Maybe that is the tan car on the trailer?

Mark, the "starter" in the opening scene wasn't Big Willie, it was another member of the Brotherhood of Street Racers named "Mousey". If you look back at the first post with the photo of the American Racing rims ad, you'll recognize him second from the left (with the glasses). I actually heard he passed away recently. Big Willie was in the film, though. He was racing his King Daytona (as you already know).
