Any history on this car?

WJ - I put a link to the car on www.northeastdragracing.com. Maybe someone over there knows something about it. Perhaps Don Roberts or Todd Berube know the car.

Great, I'm going to email Ralph Ridgeway (Deb's Dyno '55 Chev) up around Springfield, as well.....Those were his C/MP heydays at those tracks and more....The one thing that puzzles me a little are all the New England Dragway win stickers posted w/pics of that Comet.....a car w/that many wins in those days HAD to get some notice and attention. We'll see... WJ

The small lettering on the quarter windows reads " 'x.x.x.x.' Record Holder "

Not one early 60's thru early 70's former or current racer that I have spoken with remembers this car going down any of the still operating or now-closed New England area tracks mentioned in the ebay auction info ad....anyone know for sure if this car and its history is legit? W/all those Epping win stickers, one would think it would've had to be a "regular" up there....ebay item #190418297712....auction ends tonight.....WJ

W J,

Thanks. It looks like the people bidding think it is the real thing. I never would have guessed it going to 20K, but it hasn't even met reserve yet. It is going to be interesting to watch.

Car did not sell(meet reserve), but interesting to note was that late in the auction after the bidding slowed a "buy it now" for 26K was posted. Apparently no one decided to use it.

Has there been any more info on this car? I wonder how to prove that it's legit. The price seems reasonable. A "W" code 427 '67 Fairlane conv, former record holder, listed in HMN just sold...first day for first class subscribers.
