If you Google Nelson Stoltz you find a neat video of his Willy's gasser from the early sixties. Looks like he's still alive and kickin'

Mark,

Yes,,,,,,,,unfortunately many of the photo's do not have a date,,,,,,,
So I have to try and break them down,,,,,,,,,

I try to list accurate dates with my photo posts, as it gives a little more information on the car.....

Quite a few cars switched hands during 1968 and 1969....

Paul,
I was not being critical - you have done a great job - You are right many changed hands in that time period and the B body cars being classed as SS/B also confuses things - on top of that it seems that there are many typos in some of the Drag papers of that time. I have made many of the same mistakes (some of the same cars even) in my research. Another tip is that Phil Baily's Tinker Toy was not an original car.
