Good Evening! I am happy to have joined. I have a 69 RR and recently bought my first major project car. I bought "Smokin Joe" the 1967 Hemi Wo23 car a short time ago. I am trying to track down photos, info, anything. what i know so far is that the car was sold out of Lenox Dodge in Atlanta. The car is rumoured to have been owned or driven by a Mr. Thigpen. It says Baxely GA down its side and has the name JJ Miles and Artis Harper on it door. it also says BWKGA on it and at one point or another said "big t new and used auto". There is also the name FRRY speed shop in Alia on stickers. Does anyone have ideas? Pics? Smokin Joe from Baxely GA picture:

Welcome to FBBO
 
welcome to FBBO nice looking car good luck with your search
 
I talked to Glen Warfel "Scat Pack Dodge" '67 Dodge Coronet today on the phone. He told me that
bought the car from Reid Whisnant. He also confirmed that he sold the car and it
became the "smokin joe" car that I have. It was an awesome talk. Truly an honor to be part of that history.

Does
anyone have pictures of the Scat Pack Dodge or Holton Dodge car?
