No worries - just too many coincidences in that obit IMHO - that he also had a white 62 Vette... and remember, it was a family member, and not necessarily a car person, that likely wrote that... could that plastic car have been the source of the "white" in lightning confluence?... just thinking out loud.

Anthony, I sent that article or obit to the current owner. He called the local dragstrips and the information in the article was wrong. It was this car, a 1962 Belair 409, so now we have the original owner, great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and thank you.
He also called Kal Kare Speedway and Bunker Hill Dragstrip confirming Black Lightning!! Paul

Update: Current owner spoke to current Sales Mgr at old locations of White Chevrolet, Lima Oh. He knew the history of the car. Original purchaser was Gary Lauck who bought and only raced the car. Current owner has a call in to Gary who is still around to discuss details. He also knew Chuck Dawson who purchased the 61 Impala SS from White's. Said it did not originally have a 409 when ordered, Chuck installed the 409 to race....and the saga continues...
