Re: Rare cars still being raced
 

Jim Waldo's Mustang is in Washington owned by Brian Seaburg. He has it out on occasion.

Also, John Buczynski's 70 AAR Cuda (#6851) is a one owner. John bought it new and still races it, I believe.

Re: Rare cars still being raced
 

Eric's is in Georgia and still being raced. Not sure of the owners name.

Re: Rare cars still being raced
 

Great post and pictures; thanks for sharing!

Re: Rare cars still being raced
 

I had a photo of me standing next to this car, when it was brand new, and I was 11 years old LOL!! It was lost with some other race photos from 68-72. Sad.
