I heard they buried the wagon behind the shop,after stripping any useable parts!!! I think Brent's wagon is also a clone as is his Dyno Don 64 Caliente.There are so many stories floating around about old race cars,who knows the truth anymore!!! Maybe we can get Heraldo Rivera[spelling?] to do a show on finding the truth about old race cars!!!! ROY.

I'm not so sure about the hardtop being a clone. Remember it was found after a long life of racing and he purchased it...well at least that's the story I heard.

the last time i saw the dyno don wagon was on easter sunday at southeastern dragway in dallas, ga. This was shortly after steve bagwell had sold it and to the best of my memory, it had no lettering and was in primer.

As far as I know he does still have his collection and yes he is still racing the new CJ's. I've also been told he has been buying quite a few vintage Ford NASCAR race cars and a large NASCAR parts collection.

Brent Hajek has also been working with Danny Thompson to try to break some records at Bonneville. He also built a Mustang for Bill Elliott to attempt to break a speed record (at Atlanta I think??) but the car had a blow out and hit the wall. I've seen several of his videos on Youtube.

I have no real knowledge of the car but was once told by someone who worked with Ford at the time that it was built on a Falcon platform which moved some of the wheelbase. I don't know what the difference would be as I have never compared the two.

My understanding was that it was buried at Bagwell's shop and attempts to later find it were unsuccessful.

The Falcon and Comet wagons used the same platform,so the wheelbase would be the same.It would be hard,not impossible,to move the rear wheels much on a 4 door wagon,the tires almost touch the body when stock.I speak from personal knowledge[I have a 65 wagon]. ROY.
