Re: 427 Mystery Engine
Great stuff!
Ironically, Fireball Roberts was badly burned in a 1964 crash and died of pneumonia in the hospital several weeks later. Joe Weatherly died at Riverside in 1964 when his Merc slid hard into the wall and his head actually hit the wall. From this crash came the window nets we see today.

Re: 427 Mystery Engine
On June 1-3, at the WINE COUNTRY CLASSIC at Infinion Raceway, Vic Edelbrock showed off his new HOLLY FARM POLTRY 63 CHEVROLET. Do you suppose it is the old Fireball car??

Re: 427 Mystery Engine
Up until a year ago there were 2 clones known to exist. Junior himself owns one. I think it's been established that the original car no longer exists. I'm not sure where the car you saw came from. It could be Junior's or Floyd's or a new one.

Re: 427 Mystery Engine
Off topic, but there are two of the NASCAR Superbirds left in existance. One is in the Petty museum, the other belonged to a relative of mine (and driver), Ramo Stott, until a few years ago. A collector in Ohio (I believe) now owns the car. Original engine-- VERY complete car. I have some video of it running that I can send someone if interested. Send me a PM.
