Izzy 412,

Thanks,,,,,, I miss Colesy too.

Arlen Vanke had a 1963 Plymouth Fury (convertible) with a 361/265 HP Automatic as a 'daily driver' and 'occassional stocker'.

Arlen won the 1966 Springnationals G/SA Class by running a 14.07 @ 94.33 MPH in the Class Final.

He cruised through the traps, as his opponent broke at the half-way point down the track.

Exterior paint was Mahogany, with a White Convertible Top.

In 1966, the 'G/SA' National Record was 13.62 @ 102.95 MPH.
