Jim,
I only have a mental picture of the car beating me for class in orlando about 10 yrs. ago. Left like a SS car for sure. He gave me the winners tag & I keep it on my shop wall.

Jim,was the olds called a royal ,bucket seats and console floor shifter from factory ,i almost bought a car like that.just curious never seen another,,

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

I know Jim sold the car years ago and Tina Summerton drove it in SS for a while. It was repainted white when Summerton's had it. Where is it now? That car should be restored to the way Jim Woods campaigned it! "The Tanker"! Ya gotta love it! Jim

Larry,
the car you refer to with bucket seats was a 1978 olds '88' and is currently in mi. where it originated and owned by wally budzinski's nephew. wally ran the car for years. It was built as a racecar and had 25 actual street miles on it and still does. I used to fly up to mi points races and wally would meet me at the track and I would drive that car at the points meet. It saved me a lot of time that way.It had a 403 just like mine and ran just as well.It is blue with white interior(gorgeous).My old TANKER is owned by my friend Terry Tolsen here in fla.and will be back out racing very soon.

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

The Tanker looks to be a "98" model?

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

The tanker is a regency 98. The car I was talking of with the bucket seats and white interior belonged to Wally and was a 88

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

jim, did you know al seager and dick griffen from the go shop in lansing michigan? how about don holben? big time olds racers. al had a nice "98" stocker. white with a half maroon vinyl roof.

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

I sure did, as a matter of fact Dick was involved with wallys car.

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
 

i grew up with dick's son dee. that's where i learned the are of knuckle busting. i learned a lot working on dick and al's stockers/super stockers. dick and jane fortman and don martin are friends of mine also. i met you at lakeland a few years ago and saw you and talked with you a few times after that. you probaly would remember me if you saw me again. maybe i'll try to make it to one of your guys races again.
