i own the red olds convert that jim wheeler drove for remlinger olds.that the late jerry dover drove. and the blue 71 and red 72 were two different cars.same wheels were on both cars. and yes jerry jr drove it to. in 2007 jr bought it from the family that wheeler sold it to in1974 from houma. the car wen't to storage in 1979 with no transmission or driveshaft and stayed there till 2007 when jerry jr bought it.we somewhat restored it with and old stock engine that sr had in a crate from olds. i bought it from jr in 2010 and sits in my shop next to my black 71 W30 that i partley won the 1988 world championship with.the last half of 1988 i raced the 88 cutalss with.

Ok. Well that settles that. Somebody body in the Olds racing fraternity from back then told me the blue and red convertible were the same. I thought they sure took alot of time to put 72 side molding on the car if they did. The bodyside molding always put doubt in my mind. I read the blue car was a 320 horse 455. To your knowledge did Remlinger run a 455 in the red car? Glad the car survived. Thanks.
