i just noticed that you are from down under,so you probabilly never have had a chance to see them in person all together.the first time i saw all three in person was at the 1985 NSRA street rod nationals....when they pulled in together it was an awesume sight! the last time i saw them was at Pete & Jakes last year....it was still an awesume sight when i pulled into their shop and they were sitting outside. i snapped some pic's with my and buddies cars all together,if i find them i'll post them ....greg

The Super Bell coupe now resides in Maryland. It's almost always at The Nats East in york Pa. Still the same.

Back when they made the cross country tour, we were shocked to see all three at our local Wed night cruise night the week before the Nats East. (it was in Timonium Md.then)

I thought Jerry Slover purchased the car from Frank Moraski in Maryland

Frank still has the car and I doubt he will ever give it up.
Got to sit in the car a couple of years ago and it was comfy as hell.
The V6 is a bit of a dissapointment though.
All Frank has done to the car is add a Quickie and a set of Halibrands. Everything else is as Jim had it.

Oh okay, I have been mislead! The car ran around for a while without interior right? It also had a number of powerplants in it also including a BB Chevy right? I was reading Brian Brennan's Rod Action article on his trip with Ewing across the USA years ago. Neat story! I have the later R&C that had a feature on it to. It looks neat with Moon discs too!

If he did it was recently. Frank has owned it all these Years. Frank tends to hold onto things but I suppose it's possible. I'll ask next time I see him.

The grill medalion is the horny looking shot! What looks somewhat like a winged medalion upon closer examination is actually a woman spread eagle!

This little coupe has always been on my fav list,but it's sad that every time I see one of his cars or his name,I'm reminded that he's gone.

I saw Jake's car for the first time at the 1973 Nats in Tulsa. Wow ! At the time this car was WAY out there; nothing was even close in terms of style. I took a pic; it's stashed along with about 50 other pics I took of that nats. I'll dig them up and post a few of the good ones.

Street Rodder did a feature on the Ewing Super Bell coupe a while back (contact them not sure what issue). There were some good pics there. Eric
