legend Kenny Rogers? MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to offer the
one and only #49, the 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Stock Car used in the
1982 movie, "Six Pack" as Brewster Baker's Grand National racer.
This Brewster Baker car will also be on an up and coming episode of
Fast N' Loud on Discovery. On exactly how Richard Rawlings and
Dennis Collins found, purchased and then sold to Motoexotica
Classic Cars, the authentic Brewster Baker car from "SixPack" the
movie, starring none other than Kenny Rogers! We were also told,
that while Richard was performing donuts in his parking lot, he
accidentally hit a concrete bollard! I guess Richard didn't
understand that this car was made to turn left not right! Country &
western singer and human teddy bear Kenny Rogers made his film
debut in this story about a stock car racer and six orphans.
Brewster Baker (Rogers), a loner who's been away from racing for a
few years, one day discovers six kids trying to strip his car. No
Brady Bunch, this brood�has taken to stealing car parts for money,
but Brewster still takes a liking to them, putting their mechanical
expertise to work in his big comeback bid and teaching them to
behave in the bargain. For all its cute contrivances, SIX PACK
isn't a bad film and is guaranteed to warm the hearts of�Rogers'
fans. Among the kids, future stars Diane Lane (THE COTTON CLUB) and
Anthony Michael Hall (SIXTEEN CANDLES) show their promise. The
movie was designed to suck you in with a cool race car, and tug on
your heart strings with a happy ending. While the racing in Six
Pack wasn't NASCAR's Winston Cup series (now Sprint Cup), but
rather its Grand National series; it was still one of the first
major films to feature stock car racing. NASCAR legends such as
Darrell Waltrip, Mark Martin, Alan Kulwicki and Rusty Wallace made
cameo appearances in the movie. So where has this Sixpack Stock Car
been for the past three decades? Well as of �lately, the full
history has been a little cloudy and we have discovered during our
recent research that there is a bit of myth and legend surrounding
these original Sixpack cars. The real story is Kenny Rogers
and�K.C. Spurlock together owned and formed Gambler Racing Chassis
located in Hendersonville Tennessee. Gambler was set up to produce
the five cars that were going to be used for the up and coming Six
Pack movie starring Kenny himself.��One of the cars purchased
was�originally built in Parchment Michigan with a Howe chassis by
racer John Dole and raced at�Galesburg speedway, John took the
proceeds from selling his race car and bought a new car that got to
do a small�appearance in the movie as car #16. The second movie car
that was for the asphalt track filming was built by�Jr. Hanley
("Mr.Canada") at his shop in Canada. The third car was purchased
from Roscoe Smith (Howe chassis) and the fourth car was from Bopp
Chassis Machine. The fifth car, which is the only original car
remaining today and the car presented for sale was built from an
original Green Hornet Howe #3 race chassis. This car was the
"camera car" and was attached to a camera vehicle rig (rig was
designed by stock car driver Don Schisler and could do speeds up to
120mph!) and was used for all the head on shots of Kenny Rogers
racing around the tracks. After all the racing track shots were
completed the car was then welded to the RV's racing trailer to
complete all of the RV scenes in the movie. This is 100% that car
and we have all the history and documentation to prove as such. In
1982 after the filming of the movie, one car was�destroyed in a
race at Seven Flags speedway in Douglassville, GA and the other
three cars that were damaged during filming were parted out and
sold. The last car, which is this car was taken back to Gambler
Racing Chassis along with the trailer and the RV. Unfortunately the
stock car and RV were left at the shop neglected for many years
until the mid 90's when a struck of luck changed the future fate of
the only remaining Brewster Baker car! The hero in this story that
literally saved a generation's movie car was "Old School" sprint
car legend Larry Wood of New Madison, Ohio. Larry�was and still is
a mechanic and crew chief, but most notably, an owner and
builder.�This "Old School" guy does it pretty much on his own with
hard work, a mind that that can analyze any problem, unbelievable
fabrication skills, and most importantly, a great love of the
sport. While back in the day Larry Wood was one of many just like
him, today the Larry Woods of the world are quickly disappearing
from the racing landscape. In 1996 while Larry was doing some
research for building a replica sprint car for his dear friend Brad
Doty who raced a Gambler sprint car in the 1980's. Larry called his
friend C.K. Spurlock and Tommy Sanders of Gambler in search for
period correct parts. During the conversation Larry curiously asked
them what ever happened to the original Brewster Baker cars? C.K.
replied "Heck, the remaining Six Pack car is sitting out back of
our plant here in Hendersonville since 1982. If you want it, come
down and get it! Otherwise its going to scrap!" The offer didn't
have to be repeated and Larry was quickly on his way to Tennessee
to haul back the authentic Brewster car for a complete but
unexpected restoration! When Larry arrived the Brewster car was
still on its original racing trailer from the movie, actually it
was still welded to the trailer from its last ...for more
