Its Easy James Lee bought Cracklin Rose the one in the first picture of this post I remember seeing it at his garage in the mid eighties. Gary Mills bought Mustapha Errols Hemi convertible off Dave Rose as a rolling shell With the hemi it bits and enough race and standard parts to build another hemi. James Lee then bought my Cuda off me that had a front end smash swapped me for a set of 10x15 ETs off Cracklin Rose. It had a rally pack dash and good rear wings so I think that they went on Cracklin Rose with the dash. If the ID number is different on the dash you probably wont be able to trace that because I bought the car over from Belgium paid all the duties and never registered it. Not saying it was me but it was being driven around on a 1967 Cuda reg and road tax. Great days before DVLA went computerized
