Bill Bagshaw's "Red Light Bandit" Challenger Video

[Svendsen]

Greetings, I had a great time finding some parts for the restoration of this car, Bill Bagshaw's Red Light Bandit NHRA Pro Stock 1970 Challenger. John Gastman is the current owner. John bought it in 1994. Last year, John commissioned Bucky Hess in Martinsburg, WV to restore the car to 1970 specs. Bill Bagshaw is still doing well in CA, and agreed to serve as consultant on the restoration. Bagshaw even rebuilt the 426 Hemi at Ron Shaver's Racing Engines in Torrance, CA.

I put together a video of the car being picked up at Bucky's shop:

Nothing more cool than a 70's Pro Stock car. Awesome. So much better than had it been restored back to stock.

that video made my week! having &quot;King Cuda&quot; and his son restore it, even better, saw that car run at York. Nothing like original Pro Stock cars, nothing! What a find!
