Yep, I knew Wayne Colton, even been to his garage in Winnepeg!! Wayne & Ritch Ahrens were friends so I knew him that way too. I did hear awhile back that Wayne still has the ragtop

Don I remember staying at the Uplander in '76 & while I was swimming I believe Lindsay Wagner came through the parking lot in a limo & had to get out to shut the door on one of our tow vehicles & Of course I missed it!!

Anyone remember the wagon he ran at Pomona '79? All I remember was a green '68 or '69 Malibu wagon that looked "thrown together" with small tires running SS/NA and kicking serious class ***!!! Didn't know it was Chapman until the announcer mentioned it.

Gary, that was a '71 or '72 with the low h.p. 402 motor.

It's been a few years now, but if I remember correctly..... the motor was rated at 300 hp in the '71 and 240 hp in the '72. It was the same combo that Buck Kinney ran in his Chevelle convertible. Herman also did his motors. -Al

I too remember being at Herman's shop with my dad, but being only about 7 or 8, I had no clue.

It was the ugly green one right? Never did remember the year. But it was fast, and left very hard!!! That was the year Buck won S/S at Pomona.
