Re: STORM KING MEMORIES / BLACK ARROW Mysteries

[storm-king-2]

I never saw the body sitting at the scrap yard. But I have been told that NYS law forbid anything that came through thier gates from being resold/removed. That said, if it was in there, I’m sure it was scrapped. I believe Doc already had the “clone” at that time. When I moved to Tn., I ran my Pro Stock Duster in Al. a few times before selling it to a guy in Nashville, Tn. less motor & trans. My partner on the Pro Stock duster, Richie, bought the clone from Doc, and put the pro stock motor in it. He only ran it a few times before selling it. Richie did have a touch of larceny in him though, and it would not surprise me if he sold it as the “Arrow”. My brother Gary has managed to run into a few people that have been associated with that car. Jim Kramer had it for a while (Kramer Automotive) up around Chicago. Then the Helmuth ? Bros. had it ( it was in one of the Mopar Performance catalogs a few years back). There is a car done up as the “Arrow” on the show circuit now, don’t know if he thinks he has the real deal or if he built a clone also. As Forrest said ” that’s all I know about that”.

ps pretty sure it did have the vin tag pop riveted to the door
