Re: OLD RACERS
Sam,
I've been fortunate to call Joel Naprstek my friend, and most of the photos were given to me from him. In good conscience, I could never put them on a CD and make them available. He has a collection of hundreds if not thousands of old grass roots photos, not just "name" cars. He'd be the right one to put them on CD.  Verne

Re: OLD RACERS
Finally found Gene Carter's "Thumper". It was one of only 142 '61 409s produced. (after Jan.) The body side molding insert is keyed to the interior color, which indicates 2nd half of the model year. Earlier cars were all black or white. Rumor says this car was destroyed, but I'm not positive of that. Car had the Walt Disney "Thumper" rabbit painted on the deck lid.
 (I love this stuff) "Hey guys, let's tow the '61 409 car to the track with my new Super Sport!!!"   Verne

Re: OLD RACERS
More old Jersey stuff:
This '60 Convertible was known as Benney and the Buzzard (or BuzzardI). It was Benny Richardson and Bruce Bazaz. Pretty sure this is Island.  This is '62 Island, and Bruce Bazaz' BuzzardII when it was owned by Danny Digiacomo(sp?) vs his main local competition at Island that year, the Coast Automotive/Reiman Dodge 413 called the Red Ram, run by a guy named Whitey . This car is now painted black and tucked away in a garage in NJ waiting to be re-born.
