Funny car resto
OK guys I know this is a bit off the subject but there is a lot of people on this site with old magazines and knowledge so here goes...I am restoring a 66 GTO Funny Car from 1966. It was called The Gray Ghost and was from Chicago. The owner was Larry Swiatek and he was heavily into Pontiacs back then.Raced several Super Duty cars etc ..all called Gray Ghost. I traced him to New Hampshire where he owned a couple McDonalds franchises but he doesnt anymore and the last I heard he went possibly to Florida.Anyway to make this short as possible ..If anyone happens to see a picture or 2 of this car in any old mags please let me know. It was painted by Dick Scully,headers by Iggy,chassis by R&B Engineering and body by Ron Pellegrini...these were all local folks whom I've talked to including Swiateks partner Mike Garfinkel but haven't been able to muster any photo history yet...any help will be appreciated...I am going to try other boards as well but thought I would start at home base.I can have someone post a pic if anyone is interested but it's real ugly right now .
Bob
