Sounds like an amazing guy, do you recall him having a ‘69 Camaro too?
There's a few earlier Dallas Jone’s Videos on YouTube w/ his Brief Encounter Mopars, here’s one…

Pat Freels was a good friend of his and probably knows a lot about his cars. Ronnie McDowell worked on his cars for years and I think he might have drove some of them. Pat lives in Island KY and Ronnie lives in Central City KY. Dallas lived in Drakesboro KY back then and was the owner of Windy Hollow drag strip when I was young. Dallas bought Beech Bend Raceway and Beech Bend amusement park many years ago. His family is still running both of them. My wife is part of the family, but not close enough to be involved with any of this.
There was a rumor around here for many years that Dallas had the ZL1 soaking in a drum of oil at his garage in Drakesboro. I never tried to find out if it was true. One of his cars is on display at the KY Motorsports Museum in Central City.
