This is really sad news. He won the first race a Superbird ever won with his Superbird. Thankfully the car still exists.

Beauty of a car!!

I grew up in eastern Iowa in the 1960's/70's. Whenever Ramo visited our regional dirt track it was always a big deal and the grandstands would be full! I'm pretty certain he won every race I saw him in watching from those grandstands... an incredible driver.

Ramo's Superbird is owned by a local Wisconsin collector and has been shown and raced at the Road America vintage events. It's an absolute time capsule given how many of the older stock cars were modified to remain competitive, re-motored and re-skined, etc... I've had the good fortune to be able to look closely at it a number of times, also helps that I've known the owner (occasional modeler and slot car enthusiast) and he's an extremely nice guy.

I worked in the Chrysler Race Engine Group from 1966 to 2007. Back then we would help out guys like Ramo with spare engine parts whenever we could usually from excess Petty parts.
