A great thread that is hard to resist. For those that may wonder how the history of these cars can escape some of the prior owners, there are...
Great pictures of Mr Pickett and Red Light Bandit coming at us 65 Pacecar.
Some great racecars 65 Pacecar and many with successful stories. By the way here is a pic of Apricot Brandy at Indy in 68 when it was called "The...
Still looking for a good picture of Apricot Brandy when it was called "The Stinger" and it was black ( I believe since I have only seen grainy...
65 Pacecar lots of great pictures. Most of the guys on this thread probably know that Apricot Brandy was one of the most successful solid axle...
JP and 65 Pacecar the Fred Logan car is the 61 Granny Goose- different owner but same Competition Milling Sponsorship -here is the car today....
Doug I wondered why he was running altered as well although I remember one day in 68 when Sam Gianino who had D/G on the rear quarter of his 57...
Chuck I found another picture of Red Light Bandit when Parham owned it. You can see the scoop is the same as the when Bagshaw owned it. The other...
Chuck I believe I have other pictures of the car when it was owned by Parham but the paint scheme I believe was a bit wild so I am not sure you...
Chuck I believe that the Red Light Bandit was bought by Gary Parham after the 68 Winternationals and went to the Pacific Northwest. Bagshaw had...
The wheelwells on Mazmanian's car do not really bother me that much although I wish they had done them differently. The car was pretty successful...
Thanks for the info Chuck. Will keep an eye out with that in mind.
bschwoeble, I have wondered about the Bill's Garage entries and maybe there was more than one Bill's Garage. At the 62 Winternationals Bill...
I wish I had been able to watch Wildebeast race. I believe Skip Hess had a 377 in it with a good amount of ballast and it set some records in...
Jason, What's the story on the 60(assuming it is horizon blue?) above. Might cost a few bucks to restore that car. If I found it and had a few...
Dan I believe the only way that these matters can be documented is by the Chevrolet Engineering reports. When I looked at a binder full of...
Doug I know you said production. I suppose Chevrolet engineering could do as they pleased. I am sure there are a bunch of stories we will never...
Always liked Kellisons and almost bought one (wish I had). I suppose it depends on what you consider spirited driving. As you know they used a...
Doug I figured it would not be long until someone pointed that out on the A/C. Funny thing is a friend told me that he had a friend with a 1962...
Nice black 61 Bob. I am a bit partial to black Corvettes. The first Corvette I looked at with the intention of buying it was a fawn beige 61 (283...
Here are the pics I took of the 53. I happen to like the mags and blackwalls as opposed to the hubcaps with whitewalls. Here is also a picture of...
65 Pacecar, I am 99% sure the 53 with the Pontiac is from my neck of the woods. I ran into the owner and the friend who built the car about 10...
Some great pics above by 65 pacecar but Bob Lowry your 61 looks great and brings back good memories. I helped a buddy with a similar 61 lift the...
Jason just so you know the 3/4 view of the rear and side of the 62 was taken when Don raced in Colorado. I only wish there was more press reports...
Jason, I looked through my notes (which may not tell the whole story) and he owned a 1960. I have a reference to a 59 but I believe it probably...
Jason you may be correct and color combination may be similar but the BMP throws me. I believe MP came along in 1964 in the NHRA and Gist was...
Not sure if that is Don Gist. It may be but I have him in a 59 and a 62 but not a 56/57. You may more info on it than I do.
Hopefully you are right that it is in great condition but you may be wise to be prepared for an actual appraisal. I read nonsense on some of these...
I agree that the Corvette forum would be a good place to start. Tom Parsons in on that forum and probably would know someone if the car is in...
It does roll off the lips Doug, but back in our by gone days 327s and 427s held their own more often than not. Here is a picture of the 427 I put...
