I think the one brother still owns the car today. The other Kimball brother died some years ago. Mark

Jerry posted above he thought Larry finally sold the car to Mecum within the last year...can anyone confirm/deny that? I can't recall that the car was @ the KCIR nostalgia event, but I've slept a couple time since then...and, when we asked him about bringing to the SCR years and years ago, he wanted big money just to haul it across the state.

With the talk of the SD Tempest on Ebay, I thought this picture was appropriate...I snagged this from the HAMB site...it's Beswick's SD wagon @ the Chi-town ampitheatre...indoor drag racing, what's NOT to love!

That's just insane...racing indoors!

Leave it to those Chi-town folks to get their racing fix...no matter what!

2nd owner of my S/S ran at the Amphitheatre a few times. They closed it after one too many racers had encounters with the concrete posts. Go figure!

One of the coolest projects we ever were involved with was the Dick Arons/Gordy Foust/ Berger Chevrolet SS/E Camaro. The last picture shows Gordy and Dick at Arons shop in Detroit were we debuted the car...BKH
