The original owner said he put the "SS" badges on it to keep the wolf hidden behind sheeps clothing. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif By the way look at the fender alignment to the door. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif I am sure there are some EXPERTS out there that would say look at the 69 plates withh " SS " badges...must be a 396 car... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/wink.gif

Rich https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif [/ QUOTE ] Looks like 42 to me. The concession building in the pic looks like the one they used long ago. That would be on the side of the track that ran along route 42 and not what is the only pit side today. I believe they also ran multi car races as a gimmic back in the early mid 70's. I know three cars was not unheard of and that would explain the extra tree. Rich, the other picture looks familiar also. I can place the church in the distance and the Parma area comes to mind. I was thinking the Parmatown mall area at first, but the church is different. The powerhouse in the backround is throwing me off...Might be on Pleasent Vally close to York?? Pre Tri High?? It's driving me nuts...I can picture the area!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif Big |

Re: Dave's New COPO
-----You guys could definetly be right. I moved to Ft. Liquerdale in 1969 and didnt come back around 42 till probably 1980 or so. That would explain me never having seen that second set of lights.......Bill S

Re: Dave's New COPO
Steve, the original owner lived on Pleasant Valley Road. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Dave's New COPO
Steve, that power plant looking building was throwing me off also... Could very well be where "Tri Hi" is now.. Doug, the Tri-C college campus is very close in proximity to Pleasant Valley Rd. Actually part of the college is on that road. I know it well, spent 2 yrs of my life there to get part of my degree...
I thought that first picture was at 42, like I said I remember that building... Big you da man!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/scholar.gif Rich |
Re: Dave's New COPO
I just love seeing local iron come out of hiding after so many years. I believe our area was one of the best as far as ordering up muscle....A lot of blue collars and white knuckles tearing up the streets.With three local drag strips still going strong after 40 + years.....I know there are more cars out there...Cleveland Rocks!
