Anyone Know "Too Costly"
My Dad died last month and I was going through some of his photos. I found this in a group of photos labeled only as "Seattle." I think it is from the late 1970s.
Does anyone know anything about this car or the owner? There is no connection other than it was at the motel he was at.  Thanks, Jim Last edited by jwsamuel; 05-24-2013 at 07:37 PM. |

That is the nova that won I think the 72 Winternationals in SS.It would have been the first race with the new stocker rules of no older cars.I think the driver was Eddie Vasquez from Elko,Nv.

Re: Anyone Know "Too Costly"
I had never seen a picture of that car..all painted up and professionally lettered.
I would guess that picture to be about 70-71. You might have better luck with posts like this in the Nostalgia section. http://sports.dir.groups.yahoo.com/g...ed=1&var=1&p=3

Eddie Vasquez won Super Stock Eliminator in the 67 Winternationals.
Sandbagging was rife - and he got favoured by a huge handicap which made his little Chevy 11 competitive. Apparently he drove in from Nevada to race. Seems no one wanted to tech the Chevy afterwards...due to the popularity of a Chev winning.....finally.
