I wish I had taken a picture it was a true barn find. I had some of the best times with that car and should have never sold it.

You'll never guess who I ran into today at a huge car auction (ADESA) here in central New Jersey. Go ahead, guess. That's right, Alan Halsey! He along with yours truly is one of over one-hundred fifty drivers that work at the auction every Thursday, and today Alan and I just so happened to be assigned to the same group of drivers.
If I hadn't of listened in on a conversation he and another guy were having about old VW's, which eventually got around to drag racing and VW's, I would've never chimed in and Alan would've never told me he ran Hemi Super Stockers in the 1970s. Small world, huh?
I told Alan about this forum, mentioned this post and sent him the links. Hopefully he will sign up soon and join the conversation with more info.
