Hey Vern, You should put yours on a CD too. Maybe both you guys hook up and do it. You should see the ones Don White (GTO-DON) has also. Killer photos, an album full! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif to you guys

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.

MAN.......Dog and Verne deserve 2 CHUBS https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif UP Keep them cuming!!!

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!!!"

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.

REALLY https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif Photos VF........................

Holy crap......I was seven or eight in '68 when my brother took me to New England Dragway here in NH. You would swear half of that stuff was from up here...same stuff, same era. Those are some "boss" pics ! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

COOL PICTURES.. LOVE THE WARDROBES!!!!

The Strickler / Jenkins Hi-Performance Clinic

Back in the sixties / seventies GM would foot the bill for traveling performance clinics such as this one. A post card in the mail was all it took to bring out the loyal following.

This was quite a show, Grumpy and Dave were both there with a bunch of cars and the latest GM high performance parts and accessories.

Curry Chevrolet had the rest of the service department filled with the hot local street and race cars. It was not close by and unfortunately I forgot my camera in the rush to get there!

Cool stuff! Curry Chev. was in the Yenko SuperCar dealer network https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

<font color="blue">I was only a few miles from Curry Chevrolet.

Unfortunatly I was only 10 years old & even though I was into cars back then, my dad wasn't. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif

I would have been there if it were 4 years later. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Found this car in late 70's at the end of a dead end street in Franklin Sq, where it had sat for some time with the left front brakes off on a jack stand and a for sale sign. Knocked but never went back - it was just an old Chevy back then!!

http://i158.photobucket.com/albums/t...435/363043.jpg

Saw this car with no motor or trans - laying on the ground at Mr Bigs Performance in Elmont a few years after this shot - was a nice car - hope it was saved - green & yellow flake

That black 55 is awesome! I look at the pictures and see so many cars, and I wonder where they all ended up https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif
