Hidden in South Carolina we recover a once race ready Bud Moore Ford Thunderbird used during Days of Thunder and a Bobby Allison Miller Buick Regal!

Carlus Gann of the Historic Sportscar Racing (HSR) Stock Car class called me up and said "Hey I bought this old Ricky Rudd Thunderbird that has been stuffed in a trailer in the woods for 30 years. Do you want to come film it?" Of course I said yes! The car was a race ready engine Bud Moore Engineering 1989 Thunderbird that was used during the filming of Days of Thunder in 89-90. During the filming it was banged up and needed new fenders. The owner took it home, repaired the damaged bodywork to primer, and shoved in a trailer. As we see it today is exactly how it was left in 1990 engine and all! The other car painted as a Bobby Allison Miller High Life Buick Regal of Stavola Bros racing was left in an old service station recently recovered and purchased by Carlus friend Mike!
