Where Are They Now ?
 
Many racecars go through several owners over the years while some are still in the original owners hands.
Because this is a nostalgia forum, lets keep it to cars that have been around somewhere close to 20 + years.
If you know the history of your car and can trace it back with pictures over the years, post up!
If you owned one that gets posted and have some input, post up.


Looking forward to "then/now" pictures. :)

Dennis Oliver P/S 65 Impala. He had this thing for a couple of centuries. Its still out there. And yes, I believe that is a future carburetor genius standing next to Dennis. :)

440 looks and not one other contribution?


Not as good an idea as I hoped.

I bought this 1969 Mustang from Hubert Platt sometime in 1970. It was just a shell with no drive train. It was a Boss 302 test car that according to Ford was crushed.

This may have been the first race I went to after building the car in July 1971. I want to thank Terry Earwood for the photo

This was the first race I went to in Miami in 1971 where I received best appearing car after it was painted.

Pomona 1972.

I set the SS/GA record in 1974 at 11.26. The next day ran 11.13 in a time trial.

I restored it in my shop and painted it close to the way it was raced in the 70's,

This one was donated to me in 1977.
An original 283 stick Impala 6 passenger.
We set the R/Stock record three times, and won the Orlando divisional that year,
I converted it to a PG and sold it to Frank Tantillo in 79.
From there, it went to Parker Bros., Kevin Fuller, Moreheads, then ? .
It ended up in the hands of some good ol' boys in Pa, when "Bucks" Mullaney won Div 1 with it about 15 years ago..It's still there, last I heard.

I Never knew that wagon that Bob Mullaney drove had that history. I think he got to the semi's at the Keystone Nationals with it that year. He can drive slow cars better than just about anyone and adapted to that car real well. Probably was deep staging it back then.

I am looking for any other pictures of this car. I am trying to decide how I want to finish it. It was cut for an update and work stopped.
