I recently bought my first race car back after a 22 year absence. The 66 Chevy II, an original Super Sport, was purchased back from the family we sold it to in 1988. She kept her word that she would give us first right of refusal. She was able to track Dad down and offer it back to us in January. We travelled to Kentucky between the big snow storms and brought it back to Dad's house. We stripped everything out of it and it now sits at Steve McCreary's shop for a total restoration and paint. We plan on a resto mod look and enjoying it for street cruising and driving.

Keep us posted on what Jim Does to the car.

Now that is cool. Congratulations. I remember when your dad ran it and won the championship in IHRA. I imagine that a lot of older race cars will end up being restored and put back on the street when enough new stuff hits the tracks.
