Just out of curiosity does any one have any pictures of Jon Hurst H/SA Ford wagon?

Many moons ago, I used to write the newsletter for the 409 chevy club of America. I used to send a newsletter to a Richard Charbonneau in Minnesota. Are you one and the same? I'd like to know!!

Richard originally had a 67 Fairlane Hardtop out of Brookdale Ford. In 67 we ran into a lot of engine valve train problems. We continued to run
the 66 Hemi at the time. I convinced Richard to turn the Super Stock Fairlane in to a 410 h.p. stocker like Tom Shuchmacker from Ohio.
As a "stocker " the car was starting to fly. Sitting on my parents steps,
I convieced Richard to take the engine out of the Hardtop and put it into a wagon. It was not easy finding the wagon body. Little known fact, we tracked down a lic. plate number of one we saw on the road one day.
The car belonged to a neighbor of John Hagen's (Pro Stock Racer)
mother. It took a couple of week to change things over. First pass down the track (BIR) it went a .10 below the national record and the rest was history.
