e-mail Tom Kasch, he has a bunch of old programs and he might be able to look up the car number and go from there, I just looked into my data and came up blank

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
No memory of that one. If I saw it I can't remember now. I did do an engine for one back about 69, but it was a Hemi and was owned by a guy in New Boston, TX Mark, (something) Brother-in-law to Bruce Caver. I think a local guy by the name of Danny Proctor bought it a few years ago and did a restoration on it.
He buys and sells, no telling where it is now.

Looks like that was a 65 Coronet Adger.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
Danny has done a couple of those cars and the one I did back in '69 was a Street Hemi.
I think that is another one Danny came up with. That or some town names got mixed up in the story. I know all the guys and can ask them the next time I see them. I run into Danny out eating from time to time. My wife just reminded me I had been hit in the head (race car wreck) and my memory might be way off.... LOL

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
Still looking for information & history on the car. Possibly owned or campaigned by a guy named Roland from Pasadena, TX.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
Back in the day there was a publication like National Dragster called Drag News. It covered races both NHRA/AHRA nationwide. You can still find individual weekly issues for sale on Ebay or there was a place called Standard 1320 Productions that put them on a CD. Don't know if their still in business. Hope this helps, Rick

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
I think that Drag News has been defunct for about 30 years.
They were out of Orange County, Calif. by Guy Bennett. I am not sure they did a lot of Back East Bracket Stuff.

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
Man, what a cool car! If I owned it I might park it in my living room and watch it instead of TV. What are you going to do with it?

Re: Help find the history of this 64 Savoy Lightweight
I own quite a few of those along with the Eastern Drag News. I've also watched countless hours of cars drag racing on youtube in the Texas area.
I know it's just going to take that ONE person to recognize it. With 1,500 rounds on the odometer it should be a car that many have seen go down the track. Quote:
