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.

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.

Where, and in what class, did that thing run? How long has it had the lettering on the side? And most importantly, how does it run NOW??!!

Wierd combo...I LOVE IT!

Wow, that car looks odd without the wording and emblems. Awesome original pictures though.

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
