"Jim Timmons of North Andover Ma. built the car in 1968 and it was originally for Billy O'Brian. Paul Richardson drove the car for the longest time, then Tom Sherwood, Bob Milette, Jim Martel, Ed Schofield, the great Howie Brown, Tom Quinny, Babe Branscomb and Butch Walsh drove for us in Fla. when Ed West drove him into the wall in the third turn at Vero Beach.

Recent correspondence from Rick:
"I've found all kinds of parts for both of my cars. Just by chance I called Bob Turner in Maine and he had all the parts for the 427 rearend. He's had them for almost 30 years in the corner of his shop. Bet that couldn't happen again in 100 years. I got lucky. He also has a front axel almost complete. I'll keep you posted on the progress. Keep in touch thanks."
If you have any old pictures of this car or other information, we would love to add it to this page. Please send them in to RetroRockets and for pictures, please include a description, if possible.
This is how the car looked in 1967 when Paul Richardson was driving at the Star Speedway.
