62 Biscayne Special Order Drag Car

[JoeC]

Some people say that there were a few 62 Lightweights built at the factory but I have not confirmed this.

There is one in Chicago that is supposed to be a documented aluminum front end car from the factory. Seen it a Vette fest a few times and at Super Chevy. Marty D. owned it and has changed hands a couple of times in the last few years. Maybe mr.70 has some imput on that car?

Well, let me just say this: sometimes a story gets told for so long, with such conviction that it's taken as gospel when the story made for a good show sign, and, that's about it.

Here is a web page with fifteen photos, click on link and view photos seperately from drop down box that says Album Cover. I think you will all apprieciate this car. Some more history, was raced from 62 thru 64 by Buddy Thompson all thru Oaklahoma and Texas. Was raced for the dealer who owned the car, Bill Moore Chevrolet in Ponca City, Oaklahoma. That dealer owned the car until 1985 when closed down. Went to a private collector in Texas until 1998 to the collection it resides in now.
Thanks,
