Re: Any history on this car?
 
Has there been any more info on this car? I wonder how to prove that it's legit. The price seems reasonable. A "W" code 427 '67 Fairlane conv, former record holder, listed in HMN just sold...first day for first class subscribers.

The questions to the owner looks like a typical political press conference transcript.Not a bit of information is revealed.Sounds like a page on facebook or a string of H.S. girl text messages.

Yeah, notice how he glossed over the National Record thing?
I'll bet the guys on the HAMB Junior Stock thread could dig that up in half a day, if it were true.

I remember dad telling me alot of story's about this car.
If I remember correctly there were only 25-50 of these car's built.
This car came factory with slicks,open headers,roll bar,tach ready to race.
He said it had really long slapper bar's and when you banged the gears it would feel like the floor board was coming apart.
This pic was taken at the Danville IL. Airport,The reason there was mud on the tires is Dad ran it off the end of the runway.
As I recall there were 11 built....10 coupes and one station wagon (Dyno Dons "Ugly Duckling"). Im sure some were "home built" during the year. They did NOT come with roll bars as they were not requird by NHRA in 1964 when new for A/FX. NHRA rules made a roll bar required for 1965 in A/FX. The traction bars were welded to the rear housing like the 64 T-Bolts. They were not adjustable with just a pivot point at the forward crossmember mount. All were 4 speeds. Dyno Don;s and Ronnie Sox were the most notable ones back in the day.
