Does anyone remember a Gallo Wine racecar?

Correction: Bud Moore Engineering ran 2 other Cougars in GT in '68 (not '69). One was #15 and the other #16.

See, that's what I like about this site, learn something every time I log on. I do remember CB's Cougar but do not know if it came from Bud Moore. I don't know why but I always thought it did not. I do know that Reid Shaw bought 2 '68 Cougars from Bud in '69 and Tiger Tom had one that Tiny drove in '69 that had '69 sheet metal. Lit' Bud Moore had a Cougar #1 that he ran in '68 that I think came from Bud. Bud Moore Engineering ran 2 other Cougars in GT in '69. One was #15 and the other #16. Tiny drove one and Swede Savage, Parneli Jones and others drove the other. I always thought that there were four '67 SCCA Cougars built and they were then converted to GT cars by Bud Moore Engineering. Hope to be able to get the facts on these cars one day.
Did not know that CB owned the Late Models that L.D. drove before the Detroit Gasket cars.

Johnny,
I'll bet your parents were like mine, When, not if, but when I did or said something stupid my apologizes were not written and sent to the offended parties but were delivered in person, in public and to all parties as many times as they saw fit. I haven't seen or heard anything on this so I know no details other than what you posted, I don't have to, I was taught better. When you are held personally responsible for your words and actions you will keep you words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them. My folks made sure I knew what stupid tasted like.
If you could race against someone who would that someone be?

I remember that James never let off the throttle for long. If he was not wide open he was patting the gas as fast as he could until it was full bore down the straight.

Thanks Robin, Darrell is a great guy and has forgotten more about racing than I'll ever know. Wouldn't it be great to get him on RR. Last time I saw him I asked if he used a computer, he pointed to the office and said "There's one in there." He is someone we need to get on Racing Through History on Tuesday night, he has done a lot of racing over the years and knows a lot of people in the sport. The other folks in the picture are the owner Jack StClair and his Terry.

Jim,
The first pic is Wayne Andrews in Jack StClair's #97 Mustang, I think it is at Myrtle Beach in 1972. It is the same car that is in the photo of the grid at Talladega in 1971with Red Farmer behind the wheel of the #98 and Bobby in the #49 and Dad in the #15. Jack ran the car in selected races in 1971 with Johnny Allen, Coy Blue and Red driving.
The second pic is Red Farmer and I know nothing about that car.
The third pic is Wayne Andrews in the same Jack StClair Mustang as the first pic but it is 1973 at I think Hickory. The car was sold to Tiny Lund in I think 1974. I have heard Wanda tell the story of how the car disappeared after Tiny died but I forget the details.

Jim Reep Jr. had the following post in a discussion a bout H-M.
Dennis, I know some about the Mustang #49 too. It was one of the Mickey Thompson Bonneville cars Ford supplied to him for some record attempts. One of those cars survives in Oklahoma with a collector. HM wound up with them & Larry Wallace approached a Ford Racing Executive whose name presently escapes me, &one was given to him with component spares. Larry ran the car several times in G/A competition. John Holman kinda took it away from him & David Pearson & Bobby Allison both drove it. There is a great pic of it with Bobby @ the wheel on your G/A site on here. I believe it succumbed to a bash & bang between Bobby & Richard Petty @ Ashville/Weaverville . Its unknown where it finally wound up, I doubt it survived. Once again, I am pretty sure it was a Funderburk car, that fact being born out by research done on those cars by Dr. Craft. They had '65 Galaxie snouts & were built just like their Torino big brothers as unibody frames. Holman turned the stock street cars Thompson used into throughbred race cars.

Hers is a news clipping from 1965. This was the first year Tommy Bostick drove the "64 Ford purchased from Ned Jarrett that is mentioned in your article Jim. Tommy won a lot of races in that car.

This clipping is from the scrap book of Pete and Bea Brewer who owned the 1965 Chevelle that J.D. McDuffie drove at Rockingham, Sanford and Dillon in 1967. The year 1968 waswritten in but I think it was from the end of the 1967 season. As Randy stated a lot of drivers would go to all 3 of these tracks. Rockingham held Rocket 100 events, Sanford had Yellowjacket 100 events and Dillon the Wildcat 100 races. This could be from the same season as the article above.
