I think this is the car he raced for a while:

No Mark, That was the SS/K that Bobby and I raced. I found a 70 442 conv. sitting on all four brake drums at Stohlman Olds in Alexandria Va. in around 1974. I bought it for $900.00 and took it to Bud at the speed shop and told him to junk the Duster he had. My ribs are still bruised from the squeezin I got. It was converted to a 71 and he raced it in G/SA ----It's sitting in his car port as raced 20 sum years ago. Dennis ---it was 1 degree too much overlap measured on Greg X's masking tape ----- There's not enough room on here to tell all the great stories. Like the one of Buddy sitting in a lawn chair with a Budweiser in each hand riding thru Woodbridge on the roof of his station wagon tow car with the cops trying to pull us over, that will come over a few dozen beers some night. Buddy was a smart, big-- but gentle man and loyal friend who will be genuinely missed by all that knew him--------God Bless
