Re: Anyone remember this car?
Yes, it's a Cononsburg car.
Owner knew Don and wanted it that way. When I talked to him originally he said he didn't have the hood stripes installed when he bought it. I didn't realize he didn't have any of the badging either. He also said he had Don use a blank tape stripe without the script. Anyway when I bought it it had Z stipes on it and had the 427 hood emblems on. The car was badly damaged in 72? and had been repaired and repainted. Marlin I believe you know the car. Sully . |

Re: Anyone remember this car?
Wow...I've heard of cars that didnt get stripes or badges, but I never heard of a yenko car that was striped, but with Don's name deleted from the stripe... I bet Don hated giving in to THAT request! VERY COOL... tell us more.

Re: Anyone remember this car?
Wow, that car looks odd without the wording and emblems. Awesome original pictures though.

Re: Anyone remember this car?
Never in a magazine that I know.
Was a late car 08E. I think that was maybe the reason Don granted the request. The original owner worked at a local Hotel and got to know Don. The car was raced at PID. Don't know what class. I don't know how long he had it lettered up. I am thinkin at least a couple years. He has a picture (somewhere) that shows it coming off the line at PID. He sold the car in I believe late 72 and the kid he sold it to smashed it up on Thanksgiving day. I talked with him and he said it was the worst day of his life. Put the car away for the winter and pulled the insurance. Girlfriend talked him into takin it out and lost it. Sold it to John Kunsak who planed on racing it but just repaired it and sold it. Vince found the car and bought it in the late eighties. I bought it from a guy he sold it to. Original motor car. I have some more pics but I will have to downsize them when I get a chance. Later...Sully |
