Goodies Speed Shop Info!

Hey everyone,

I work for the newly re-opened Goodies Speed Shop and I'm looking for pictures, stories and the whereabouts of the 12 (at least) cars, altereds, dragsters and other vehicles that were adorned with Goodies Speed Shop logos.

Here's a page I put together on a little of the info I have so far.
http://www.racehome.com/goodies.htm

So far I've contacted the following professional photographers about their photos of the vehicles; Steve Reyes, Bob McClurg, Dick Towers, Jere Alhadeff, Mike Ditty and Dan Bott. They have been helpful, but now I need more info and details than they can offer.

If you have pictures of your own or scans of pictures from magazines I'd be happy to see them. If they are not your pictures I need to know who took them and what magazine they were published in and the issue date if possible.

I'm also looking for photos of other things associated with Goodies, such as pics of the stores (San Carlos, Salinas, Walnut Creek and San Jose), models, tribute cars, T-shirts, jackets and other stuff like matchbooks and decals.

Thanks in advance,
Tony Huntimer

Damn good memories! Thanks for the pictures, and bringing back the name/speedshop. Good luck to you

 

If people will buy street rod and traditional parts from us we will start selling them.

Is there a market for them in San Jose?
