Because it was his car!    The folder the black and white "watermelon" pics were in said, "McCurry's Daytona".

Believe the other stories if you wish.     I SAW the folder.     (Man, this was back almost 30 years ago!   Where does the time go?)


GOOD FIND!!!

I'm more interested in that cover pic with all the e-bodies. Is that is brainchild as well?

That Green go with Chartreuse stripe is awesome. I've only seen 1 other like it , but it had white top and interior.

Also didn't know Red Foreman worked for Chrysler- see him lurking in the background - probably calling someone a dumb ass !

No physical car and Sean Machado knew him personally showed picture.And says it wasn't his???

Come on Mike, perfect opportunity for you to do what you always do-stir the pot.

Or you could just be decent and offer what you know, not just a tidbit to be clever, about what you know about the Watermelon car?

Correct. He denied knowing the car that had pics in a folder with his name on it.

Bet the Watermelon Daytona was behind the Challenger
when that cover pic was taken.

Someplace, there are the negatives of that entire photo
shoot.

Cool!!  

Check this out.  Possibly something to do with the Daytona being ok'd?  Timing is about right...
