All good things come to an end. Clyde had returned home to California, from there the car was stolen. The FBI was called in but could not find the car. It ended up that benesesso and friends bought the car and turned it into Nitro Express.

benesesso and associates ran the car for about 6 months and sold it to Don Hulse in New Jersey. Don had the car sent to Circus paints and repainted.

Don ran the car for a little while and had seen The Shoes Wonder Wagon car and liked it, so decided to rebody the Camaro to a Vega Wagon. This was the third and last body to be fitted to the Fletcher chassis.

So, to make a long story longer, Don sold the Camaro body and it ended up going to a guy in Carlisle, PA. by the name Roadster Jack Coulston. He mounted the body onto a stage II Logghe chassis in the mid 70s. painted it orange and made only about twenty passes with the car. Mostly ran at York US 30

Don had a new Pontiac Grand Am built by S&W and had loaned the wagon out to the Cassidy Brothers when they had wrecked there Mopar. When Don got the car back there wasnt a use for it so it was sold. The car was sold with in the year again and also went into PA and to Gerry Tully. Gerry named the car Star Baby and made the cover of National Dragster. It was sold to a Tom Hoover(not the same one)for a brief time and then went to Greg Zyla. Greg invented a board game about drag racing only to use the money he made off of the game to buy the car. www.boardgamegeek.com

Ok, lets see. Oh, the Camaro body with the Logghe chassis was last ran by Jack Coulsten, only to be sold and never ran again. It went through several hands only to have parts taken off of it each time. I aquired the body and chassis and a few odds and ends in about 1981 only to shuffle it around here and there over the years, some times it sat inside, and alot of time it set out. I was told it was a Jungle car when I got it. Could of sold it lots of times but never did.
