4 Rob Ayres

Dwight Southerland · 02-07-2011, 09:59 AM

The little green Valiant was famous in O/SA in its day. A couple of friends (Bill Godwin and Gary Hairston) worked with Bob on the Chevelle as a stocker and later converted it to SS. Bill and I used cast the off parts when he went to SS to build our first Stocker, a '65 Chevelle wagon. Gary and Bill both drove the car at different times in SS after we convinced him to put a four speed in it. Great experiences and one of the most colorful people I have ever known. I have a thousand Bob Ayres stories. He died of an ruptured aneurysm in 1975. I still talk to Rob occaisionally.
