First video of many to come with Mopar Collector Wade Ogle

[72hemi]

I recently had an amazing opportunity to sit down with my friend Wade and talk about his passion for classic musclecars and collecting some of the rarest and most historic musclecars ever made. This is the first video of many to come in the future. You are not going to want to miss this! It's not only E bodies in his collection, but they make up the majority. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I enjoyed making it.

WOW  !!!   What a collection  !!!

Saw Dick Smith's  427 comp cobra  ( red  #198) .  Probably the most winningest 427 cobra.  Met him at a SAAC meet ? 2008 ?

Looking forward to more video's  !!!

Good eye! Yes the Dick Smith Cobra is the winningest 427 Cobra. It is also the fastest doing 198 mph back in 1967 at Daytona! I will be doing a video in the future on the Cobras.

It is also the fastest doing 198 mph back in 1967 at Daytona!

His cobra was generally set up for flat road course, not a banked oval, and he knew he was going to be going faster than usual.  From what I remember, He, and his mechanic, lowered the front ride height may be about ? 2", for slightly better aerodynamics, which helped.  I think the 198 mph was clocked by the race track.  Ford was also there, and I think they clocked him slightly over 200 mph.

That's incredible! I can't imagine going that fast in one of those.

I had the ultimate pleasure of meeting Wade at MCACN 2015 when the Hemi E Body convertibles were there. Super nice guy very down to earth...I'll be watching these videos, I think it's great hearing the stories behind the cars....Thanks for sharing...

One thing I remember from MCACN was Wade actually knew of me....I introduced myself and he said...oh yea..."I know who you are"....That shocked me at the time

Very cool! I really wanted to attend MCACN that year, but sadly couldn't make it.

The stories behind these cars are truly remarkable! I can't wait to share them.

And like you said Wade is an amazing person! So down to earth. I can't thank him enough for allowing me to bring the cars to my channel for all to see.

Thank.  You for posting just a great collection and a very well presented video. And a very good story of someone who  build up there knowledge of the muscle car . And later was in a position to build up a very nice collection.
