Maybe Don ran the Fairlane at the 65 WinterNationals? I don't remember when he got his white 63.

That would make more sense since Don mention that Chrysler used to give away 426mw engines as a top prize & said He ran a red car in the 64 nationals which I'm assuming now it might have been Tex's 64 plus he insists he sold the black 63 a few months before due to it not being competitive with the new hemi.
I've been told by a few people including him that he got the white car in 65 because they started a new class he wanted to race in & the aluminum front end is from a 64 that he made into a 63 I'm guessing from tex's car?
the ford might have been in 65 before the white 63 maybe he got the cars or years backwards which is understandable..
I guess I should give Joe smith a call..
