Better pick up the newest issue of SRP. Summer, 2011. Mark
Joel, I have quite a bit of history on the Kimball Z-11. It ended up in Arizona, and was lost/scrapped there. The aluminum, or some of it anyway,...
Verne, Larry Wilson and/or Jack May painted the moulding inserts red on the "Good Ol Mr. Wilson' car. ;)
Wally, do you recall who you sold the "Shaker" to? Mark
No one has commented on the car shown in the upper right corner. Any guesses? Mark
It's Huston Platt - The Dixie Twister. Great Photo!!! Mark whooops - sorry Joel, missed your post, I've been away from this for a bit.
Joel, I have that book! See pic. You are correct, it was the Earl Evans "White Tornado". The car and aluminum still exist, but they have been...
Joel, Hollingsworth sold his car to Hubert Platt. I think Hubert has told a few people that he thought he had bought his car (the Shaker) from...
Down South Racer, I'm not sure. I'll try and find out. Johnny was in Goldsboro, NC when he ordered the Z-11, at Cobb Chevrolet. He might have...
Joel, The scoop shown was made by Johnny Hollingsworth - not Platt. I have a number of photos of the car when Hollingsworth had it with the...
Joel, Richard is still around, I haven't talked to him for a year or two. Still living in the Charlotte area. I'm not sure what he's doing right...
Fanbelt, Contact me if you could - markjascher@hotmail.com Thanks! Mark
Joel and Verne That article just confused things for me, thanks for the insight. On that photo you posted of the Nicholson 61, I have a few...
Joel and Verne, I was looking through some stuff this weekend, and came across an article on Don Nicholson in HR magazine, April 1980. In it, he...
Joel, Here's a shot of the Bill Clay car after it was painted yellow. I don't know the photographer, but it came to us from Ray Hruska in Wichita.
Joel, The Bill Clay car has the Shaker beat hands down! I'll post a pic later. Also, I came across some info on the Nicholson 61 car I'll post...
Verne, The Flying Jet is the real thing. The car is long gone however. Do any of the MoPar experts know more about this car?
Check post #333 and #322. Mark
Joel, is this the car you're talkin about? I may have sent you this awhile back. Taken at the Drag News Invitational in 63. Mark
Biscaynes, Keep those 66s coming! Do you have any more of Billy Izykowskis? I'd like to see a bigger version of your avatar, and do you have...
Jim, I believe the car is now in Detroit. The gentleman in Ok. sold the car. I spoke with Richard Hunter recently as well. Please contact me at...
Guy, Great to see you here! Keep those Buicks coming! Maybe you could paste a link to the vintage drag photo thread going on the "other" forum....

Verne, Gerald Reeder and Larry Mohar were involved with the "Red Cloud" Biscayne. They later ended up with the John Hollingsworth Z-11. That car...
Hi Verne! I agree - all the 62 factory aluminum cars were Super Sports. The photos of the "Shaker" car are not clear enough to tell one way or...
Joel and Verne, I have nothing concrete to support this, but several reliable scources have told me that the 62 Reed-Draper Impala was one of...
Joel, Thanks for the heads up - I'm in! Mark
