Jeff,

Thanks again for the pics of the invoices. My car was probably on the lot when your Dad was there. My cars orig paperwork says Route 25. Does your Dad happen to know a John Filson from Elgin, IL ??? I think my car ended up at alot of car shows in the area. White 74 z/28 with chrome side pipes and pinstriped flames.

Here is a pic, I am sure it had different wheels and tires on it as when I found it, it had the orig rims and wide ovals and the tires still had the nubs on them like new

John finished the car before the '88 Indy Super Chevy Show where he debuted the car. he was partnered with Dave Simpson...

after Super Chevy, he hit the Top Sportsman circuit........

these are from World Of Wheels in '88 at McCormick Place

John built this home made turnstyle for the show....it caused quite an uproar from the ISCA guys because John won the Best Display award....Whiners !!!!! after Johns death the following summer and Daves legal matter, the car ended up at Ron Folk Racecars where Dave kept alot of his muscle cars and thats where the car sits today.....in an old barn just sitting there. what a waste of ingenuity for the time...

The left front tire was flat and dryrotted, so I put a rim and tire I had from home.

Sorry Darren, I peeled the sidepipes off already.

John Filson is abut 52 years old I think.
