Carl - the 409 I am referencing is the same car you owned after my dad did.

If I recall correctly that 409 beat the LS6 Corvette - Bill S. can verify (I forgot that Bill owned it prior to Stretch)???

-----I bet Marty and you had ear to ear grins the entire trip. Was that the year that your Dad and Stretch stole the fuel injection unit off the front seat of Jack Douglass's white 61 Vette and hid it??? The year I almost had my heart attack. ......Bill S

------And Carl,,,Didnt we figure out that the 64 in your bio was the car that Bob Sindelar owned at one point prior to your ownership??? That was one sweet 09er.......

------That race was a short one, Jake, but your Dad did wax me. Say hi for me. .......

He did - I am currently looking for that car as it belonged to my Dad back in the late 70's, early 80's. My Dad's cousin ordered the car brand new in 62 and sold to my Dad in 1979, Carl bought it from the guy my dad sold to around 1981. VIN #21847J181843. Nassau Blue/Blue interior standard Impala, 409/409.

Car was at Duke's frequently when my Dad owned it.
