History NHRA Junior Stock

So cool! When did they louver the hood?
-Dean

 

Actually it sold for $226,521. The eBay listing is no longer available, but see post # 750 for more info on that ultra-rare Pontiac (you remember Pontiacs!) racer.

And yea WagonKiller ... what's the deal with the louvered hood? I really doubt if George ever used it.

 

I dunno thats the way i got it. I know my dad liked it but i do not belive he had it done.

 

I havn't seen it on any of the pics so far,and if i remember correctly i asked mr cureton if it was on there and he said no.
It was owned by a 2 man team in titusville after george then by a man in meadville that my dad bought it from where it came in at who knows.

Hey i bought the car as a 56 delivery project that had sat far to long in a building.Thats the way she came and i wasn't gonna complain.It will have that hood and another stock hood painted when it's done.

Funny what a 30 some odd year memory of a paper on a window,and a couple cecil county drag-o-way time slips in a glove box can actually turn out to be.

 

My friend, take off that hood, clean it up, put in on Epay .Use the money towards your restoration.
You wouldn't get two feet inside a nostalgia event with that hood, without being soundly beaten upside the head with old National Dragsters, Car Crafts ,and Hot Rods.

 

Thats where hood #2 comes in!

Sorry i am a man of my word.When i make a deal i KEEP the deal intact.

One of the reasons my father sold ME the car so cheap.The hood was one of them,so i buy the other stock hood.Paint BOTH hoods and if i cruze around and not go to a show or meet of some kind i use the louvred one.

Deal Kept,political correctness also kept.And no one comes to haunt my azz from the netherworld!

 

?????

 

wagonkiller, way to go! its rare these days to find a man of his word these days keep the hood, paint another and use both! i doubt that a louvered hood will hurt the historical value of the car, and should you have to ever sell the car, you will have the other hood to give the new owner should they want it!

 

Thank You! I don't think markyac quite understood what i was trying to say.You did i'll explain it one of these days.

I have a friend that has 2 hoods and told me take my choice $100 bucks.so no real BIG expence there,well worth that to keep my word.

See dad knew i didn't really want he hood on there,it dumped water all over the engine when it rains or gets wet washing it.The man absolutly LOVED that hood! And of course didn't want it gone and when i explain "The Rest of the Story" You'll understand!

 

this thread kinda died

 

Yeah, I wonder why?
Nobody knows how to follow that last act.

 

Well I'll try.
Speaking of '56 Chevy sedan deliveries, I present the Yoo Hoo Too. Sorry, unknown photographers.

 

R.I.P gang, and to all who have left us for the staging lanes upstairs, it has been fun strolling down memory lane.....

 

TO ALL:

I guess with summer here and with so many things to do outside that it what is causing this lull of input.
It defininetly is not like the winter when everybody would rather huddle at the computer in stead of going out to the garage or shop to work on a project.
I know that I have less time in the evening after work because the days are so long and I have so much to do outside while I can.
Hope everyone has a good summer.

She ain't dead yet. Here's a couple I found on a CD last week that I don't think have been posted.

 

So right Bob! This thing ain't over till the Fat Lady Friggin Sings. There's much more to come, we've just been taking things a bit slower now that the nice weather is here.. I have a feature article on Tony Pizzi and his
"Worlds Fastest Z/28" that needs to be seen. Also, I think we may have most all of the Junior/Stock build-up articles from Car Craft that should be added. Heck, we've only just begun. Stay Tuned cause this thing is far from over. Stick around everybody and feel free to add any stories, opinions etc.

How about the 1970 Summernationals with Tony Pizzi, Dave Boertman and Max Sterling?

 

Tim Bishop at the 1971 Summernationals.

 

Tom Schumacher at the 1970 US Nationals.

 

GREAT picture at the 70 Summers! The tree's fully lit, ready to GO!

 

I opened the new Hot Rod Magazine, saw a center spread on Junior Stockers. The "57 Chevy Bel Air that Steve Shwimmer and I ran from 1957 to mid '60's is shown racing a 210. Ours was the first car sponsered by Marv Ripes (A-1).

We won the Winternationals, I think it was '64 as in the picture. Note A-1 on rear fender.

Does anyone know how I can find a list of class winners for the early 60's?

By the way, Marv is fine, we went to a car show last Sunday at the Rose Bowl.

 

<P>does anybody have any pics of the 70 W-31 cutlass that won F/Stock at Indy in 1970?</P>
<P>i believe owner was Jack Marks.</P>

if the pic is too new for the board,
please email pics to

I bought that Fairlane from Tom Schumacher(post # 2779) shortly after that race.

 

Is it a 427 car? W or R code. Still around?

 

I have the class winners from 63 and 64 Winternationals. Which class did you win?

 

Bob great shot of the Revenuer. Thanks and I hope this thread just continues on like it should do....
