Is there anybody out there from the eastcoast, mainly the MD VA PA Del. W.VA area that knows the owner of the 'lil' blue chopped channeled pro streeted 'n blown '32 Ford 3 window coupe out of Virginia dubbed "Super Squirrel"? Do you know any info on the car ex. owners name, contact info (e or snail mail address) phone #'s etc...

There for about 10 years back all the way thru the 80's and into the early 90's ('84 to '93 or so) this lil '32 was tearing up the show scene everywhere from OH to DE, NY to FL indoors and outside with a little friendly competition from a friend that had (may still have) a lil screamin' red pro streeted blown channeled and chopped '33 Ford 5 w/cpe.

Ever since '93 or so they both vanished, the red '33 vanished all together, the '32 still hits Ocean City and is pictured in the Spring 2001 event gallery here on SRS.

I have yet to get to OC show so catching up with the owner and car is impossible (maybe this fall when I go). For right now I want to see if anybody out there knows the car/owners whereabouts and contact info so I can contact him and ask some questions. Reason for finding this car and owner, im doing a mini version/clone of this car in 1/24th scale model form and I need some extra info on parts used and how things were done on it, pics just dont explain it as words would.

If you know where the car/owner is, know any contact info to the owner directly or possibly have been around the car thru it's build up stage get in contact with me.

If you think you know the car by my description but aren't sure if what your thinking about is what im thinking about you can check out the car here at SRS on the Ocean City 2001 Event Gallery (dark saphire blue chopped channeled pro street blown '32 3 window deuce with tan interior), and if you do know ANYTHING on the car other than the obvious that pics show I wanna hear from ya!


Thanks in advance

Hold your ears folks...ITS SHOWTIME!!!

Slammin, I bought a 72 Chopped Monte Carlo off of him in the early 80's !He lives in Delaware.
His name is ELLIS and that's about all I can give you. I do know his brother goes to all the cruise nights and shows all over the country!
He drives a 39 chevy aqua in color and with a dark blue carson top.
Next time I see him which might be next year I will see if I can get you a few pic. of the car!
If you have any contacts in upper DElaware you can probably find him.
nice guy saw him about a year ago he doesn't go to the shows anymore. Good Luck "WHEELS"

Wheels, Thanks for that lil' bit of info on "Super Squirrel". I was always under the impression the car and owner was out of Virginia as I thought his friend with the lil red chopped 'n channeled '33 Ford pro street was also. As far back as I knew the car (first saw it in '86) I always took for granted it was from VA since it had VA tags that read "SHO-OFF". We talkin' about the same car here or a different one? Was it in Delaware before/after moving to/from VA? I have a few pics and video of it from '86 to '93 then it vanished. In all my videos and pics it's got Virginia plates so I'm thinking either it was in Delaware then moved to VA some time between when you saw it and when I first saw it in '86 or since it vanished it left VA and went to De.

Wherever it may be I still want to get as many contacts as I can to Ellis direct or somebody that knows him and the car pretty well so I can get this model in the works.

I do know the '39 your talking about Wheels, it's up in North East MD somewhere, used to see it all over the place now I'm lucky I see it at York, Ft. Smallwood and Harrington...guess the old gang that was in it back when I first got my starts getting out for whatever reason. I sure hope whoever has Super Squirrel now wether it be Ellis or whoever bought it gets back doing alot of shows and not just O.C

I'll ask around and try to find more info or contacts.

Thanks bud!

Slammin, I can remember the car back in early 80's
Ellis built it and it was at the run at Maple Grove Raceway. I think it was called the RUN TO THE GROVE.
We used to drag race on saturday and just the cars at the run where there to race.It was alot of fun.
I can remember the car was so small inside his brake pedal was on the left side of the steering coloum.
Just about get your left foot on it.
Also the guy who bought the car off of him was from VA.Within the last few years he got it back and put a interior in it for the guy!
Do you remember when the Wheels of Time Use to be in a Campground and the prizes where just as good then as they are now. Or how about Nats. EAST at Timonium Md.
The bull roast and rod Jousting was
alot of fun.
That's all for now, WHEELS

Ps. the guy who had the 33 was the owner of the 32
I think your right Ellis is from MD.

Wheels,

So basically your saying it was built in Delaware by Ellis sometime before '86 when I saw it, he sold it to a guy in Virginia and thats where it is now.

In all the films and pics I have of it there always was a tall guy black long hair to the shoulders with a 'stache...was that the first owner/builder or is that the current?

Who's got it now? Do you know? Any contact with the current owner?

I know its way different than what it was when it first hit the streets. Now its got tan interior (used to have dark blue then grey) it now has Halibrands (used to run Cragar Drag Stars then Cragar Sportsters (not necessarily in that order) used to be solid blue with pinstripes now blue with a purple flame job on both sides.

I'm sure i'll run into somebody this winter or at York that knows what the deal is on the car.

As far as the Nats East being in Timonium I've heard stories left and right about it, But I've always known it to be in York ever since I can remember (gotta remember, that ended in '82 (my rookie year in this world) and im pushin the big 2-0 here bud LOL! I haven't been around all that long ya know). The only rod jousting I've been around was up at Cumberland when NSRA did away with it and the smaller club events picked it up. Luckily Western MD SRA. latched on the idea and now it's the most popular event outside of the carshow itself.

One somewhat local run I miss is Old Line Chasers "Run at the Rocks" up at Rocks State Park. That was a fun 1 day show and the first year the family and I went I won "Best Engineering" award with believe it or not my first ever tricked out wheelchair, custom paint, flames, fake 'chute, homebuilt wheelie bars and a wannabe plastic rollcage. Boy were the guys boo hoo'in over me winning with that and them not getting the trophy with their ride.

It's been a fun 18 years in the rod scene and many more to come.

Thanks for the updated info on "Super Squirrel" Wheels, i'll see if I cant get more info on it.

18 years rodding? Do we count the 9 months in the womb? If so, I`m 52 years rodding....Man thats older than dirt.

A year and the 9 months before I hit the scene was considered a warm-up time. At a year old the shows started and I aint stopped yet. Boy it's been fun!
May go for the Under 21 NSRA Award this yr. in York.

I`m goin for the dinosaur award. you can have the trophy

Wheels, I took your advice and threw a e-mail to Jerry Bowers out of Magnolia De. with the "Lo Life High" School Bus and called my uncle in Rehobeth. Haven't heard back from Jerry yet, Doubt I will...I've e-mailed him 5 or 6 different times about different things and no mail back my way. Oh well, Anyway...my uncle knew of the '39 but didn't have much info on the '32 "Super Squirrel". Guess I'll find somebody that knows info on the car in my travels soon.

Ed- you may be "older than dirt" but I'm a member of the Geritol Jet set! Just as long as you don't become a member of the "over 50 year old cross dressers" we'll be OK.

The over 50 crossdressers club must be an oganization that you belong to, I will be sure not to join. Thanks for the advise.

Ed- Fortunately I'm not at the big 50 yet. I did however talk to your UPS man and there was something about you getting a shipment of red panties?!? (he said he noticed that they had slipped out of a box he was delivering).

He also noticed your return address on the box!! WHAT??? you`re not 50. Do you know who wants to be 50? Somebody who is 49. And you need Geritol? Punkass.

By looking at your picture I don't WANT to be 50!As far as my return address on the box -well I do ship on a "special request" basis for those to feeble to get out of the house on their own!!!

Shoot, I`m as fit as a teanager, til this day I never hit 170 lbs.....Did ya ever notice all the guys with deuce coupes? none of em wheigh in at under 300 lbs, and the cigar is usually in the picture. Feeble? I`ll out run you by foot or by wheels...lol. I wear a mask as not to make most of the cronies on here feel so bad. O-oh.....now all the old farts are gonna be gunnin for me......

Ed you win! I'd probably die just from laughing if we ever did go toe ot toe!

You see. now ya don`t have to worry about turnin 50..... We will hook up on one of the east coast events in 2002. Hope to see ya there.

Hell put on those snow chains and come to Cherokee- the lows are supposed to be in the 40's and the highs will be in the 60's.

I`d love to but the Deuce is goin thru a transformation, I`m putting fuel injection on it, and a bunch of other do dads, and of course NEW PAINT! No more snot green, I wont make that mistake again. I`m hoping that slammin will come up here and show me how it is done, with all his knowledge, it should ne a breeze. LOL.

Well now that it's had it's moment in puke green can we go piss yellow? Or hey how about all black with some hot licks down the front.

Ya gotta admit, im tryin' to help here!!
