Hi Jim - First, I not only love how this car is being brought back to life, but also really appreciate you and others who are saving these pieces...
You may want to check on the RaceNY message board, someone there may have worked on the car or know someone who did. Good luck!
Interesting front suspension - the bolts almost make it look like a Flemke front end turned 90 degrees.
According to Fred Graves, it appears to be his Cam/2 sponsored #38 that Bentley later ran (think Cindy Snyder owned it) as the white and black...
Fred Graves said it appears to be his old car. :-)
Hi Mike - I may be wrong, but from looking at the cage this may be the Graves built car that Bentley drove in the early 1980s. If you do...
Absolutely loving this build; I recall seeing this car run many times at Shangri-La with both Bentley and Don Diffendorf (correct spelling)...
Amos Hill (with glasses) at Shangri-La Speedway, Owego NY, circa 1946. The blonde guy facing away from the camera is my dad, Bob Baker. Believe...
When it was active link will only show this cover for a week, from Pinner's supermodified past programs page): http://www.gosupers.com/cover.html
The #9 was an ex-Indy roadster, but it was owned by Steve Gioia Sr. and driven by several different drivers. I'll look in my Oswego books when...
I know that this is waaaay too modern, but just wanted to give some props to Watson roadster restorer and Supermodified car owner Steve Miller,...
What a great looking car - a three window with skirts. Nice! Still exist?
We had a Henry's in Binghamton on the corner of Main and Clarke. The hamburger licking its chops at the prospect of, umm, you eating a hamburger...
"Sorry, sir, you're gonna have to move that Cutlass, only Pontiacs allowed here..."
Holy... Looks like Cloud Nine Amusement Park on the hill outside of Olean NY. Went there in the early 1970s just before it closed for good.
Not lost, but definitely fallen upon hard times, is the Distelfink drive in in Gettysburg PA: [IMG] Had the misfortune of eating there a...
Will the perps be required to pay restitution, as in the costs of reassembling the car to the condition it was in prior to being stolen? Glad...
My slightly O/T 1968 Fairlane got embarassed by a Sunbeam Alpine once. Didn't realize until he was in front of me that an Alpine doesn't make...
Love the 707 - isn't that one of Bentley Warren's early rides?
The driver probably said "I got a firesuit and 1000 pounds of adrenaline! Outta my way!" - and I'm not joking.
Seriously cool looking car, btw...
Pete - If you don't have any additional info, simply present what you have with a sign saying "REMEMBER ME?" and see who comes forward, maybe with...
Agreed. Some of the details in the deora were amazing. I can't recall how many 1/24 scale kits of that car I built and then tried to further...
Cage looks like a 1982-1986 Troyer, but the front end has some serious and strange work done to it if it was once a Troyer car. Almost looks like...
Hi Yvan - Any more info on the above car? Driver, chassis, etc? Thanks!
I don't recall hearing that the radiator was built into the chassis, and if you look at the car it's sitting up front like any normal self...
Great find... hard to believe it's been 25 years since that car was up front at Waterford! If it were mine, I'd repair only what's necessary and...
Those, and the Beatnik Bandit. I've been sketching cars ever since, primarily because of those three. Honorable mention to the Hot Wheels Sand...
Every time I've seen that pic the first thought that went through my head was "that looks like a Dutch Hoag rollcage."
Was that the wreck that ended Giroux's career? Looks just absoutely nasty...
