1961 Chevy Belair Sport Coupe Race Car

Thanks Jerry,

I think there's a good chance the original is out there too. But of course, since it wasn't heavily modified as a race car, it could have found its way back on the street where it might have met its demise.
There is a recreation, or tribute car being built now. I've been helping with a lot of the details. Bill Jenkins is on board, providing his details as well as some original parts he had from the real car. Bill also went through the carbs and dyno'd the motor. Mike Strickler and Susie are involved as well, providing more photos, etc. It's especially nice to know they are helping with the project. The chassis is almost done and is scheduled to be at York next July.
We're having a heck of a hard time finding correct wide white wall 7x14 cheaters. The repros are all 15". The car will be done to the OS/S configuration with the 2x4s and hood scoop.
