Cool Pics!! Seems to be HOOKIN in the 2nd picture. The car would hook up in water mellon patch.

GREAT pics! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif

Re: Red Alert
 

Thanks. Those were taken back in the early '90s, when Bill was involved in what was known as the "SuperStock Showndown", with several other original superstockers. What a treat it must have been to see the cars blast down the old 1/4 mile again, with the likes of Ronnie Sox behind the wheel.

I would love to see this happen again, with old Red, Barnhart, Howie and others.

Re: Red Alert
 

Very neat shots and history. You are right, that car can hook! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Not for sure where that pic was taken, will have to wait for Bill to chime in. Yes, that is Bob's helmet, the one I have now.

Re: Red Alert
 

Is Frank Spittle putting this SCR XI on?

Somewhere i've still got the halves of my AMT model of that car... my younger brothers learned about firecrackers with it. That is the same Bob Hamilton who had the orange 65 AFX Mustang earlier isn't it?

Re: Red Alert
 

Nope...Tom Clary and a host of others on this site are...the banner is at the top of this page or you can

Yes.


The local Chevelle club (Springfield, MO) was having their annual get together this weekend, which included some track time, so Rob and I snuck away from work with Red Alert. ETs were so-so, but we had a blast. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Red Alert
 

Bob's Mustang.

Re: Red Alert
 

I hope somebody refreshed the motor or at least put valve springs in it if you're going to thrash on it. Ever since we had it in our showroom in the late 90's, Bill has told each new owner to service the engine and put new valve springs in it. In fact, I think he had the springs. But it seems like it just kept getting passed around and rolling at auctions, and I don't think anybody did anything to the engine.

Re: Red Alert
 

Great shots, love the front wheel lifting. Bill, it was good to see you at Bloomington last weekend.

Re: Red Alert
 

That is one of the coolest cars I have ever seen. The fact you found the helmet is really neat.

Re: Red Alert
 

------I tried to post something on here that grew a little long twice and both times it disappeared. I got so mad I quit for awhile.
------The Linda pic was taken in 1992 at SEMA and that is the same helmet. I also have a pic of Terry C in front of Red with Burt Reynolds. Burt had so much makeup on it sort of creeped us both out.
------Long Gone is Bobs SOHC H/M Mustang. There were 10 planned by Ford and then Bob and Larsen Ford got them to build an 11th. Bob ran it with both the original 427/425 engine they all came delivered with and the SOHC with great success. This Mustang also still exists in restored condition.
------Randy is right about the valve-springs, but I know Andy did a major freshening on the motor so probably no problems there now.
------Saw many sight members last weekend at B/G (a bunch of Texas types) and had a great time with all. Thought the survivor program was OK. It may have a chance..........Bill S

------The Supercar Showdown was Porterfeilds idea. It was a good one too but we never got enough cars together back then at one time to make it a big deal. I think today it would be waaaaaay different!!!!!

Re: Red Alert
 

Bill

I always thought that was a great story on Red about the springs. I think you carried them around for years trying to give them to the owners! Too bad I missed you at Bloomington. I was supposed to bring our unrestored '74 H/O to the Benchmark Show on Sunday, but check in time was 6:30 AM- that wasn't going to happen. Looks like Red is in the right hands now. I loved that car. After sitting 10 feet away from it for a few months, I grew to know that car pretty well.

Re: Red Alert
 

A trip down memory lane......

Re: Red Alert
 

Needless to say I am having a blast with old Red, and see why Bill S. said it would be one of the cars he would love to have back.

On more then one occasion Porterfield and I discussed doing this sort of event again, but never really pursued it. Maybe it is time to how many other owners of old superstocker/prostocker cars would be interested in such as event.

Re: Red Alert
 

What a car, I'm glad I got to finally see it and even happier I got to know two of the past owners, Terry C. and Bill S. What a great time we had at Tom's last Friday.
