Dennis,
I have heard the stories several times and it is still great to hear them again. You introduced me to Ken, Jerri and Ray several years ago and they are all exactly as you stated. Ken is always available to talk, never serious and always good for a lift.

Fred Gibb must have produced some pretty special new car owners because all of the original Gibb Supercar owners that I know are all the same. Great individuals and friends.
three special guys

Godspeed to Dennis and thank you Annie for your time and dedication in keeping his dreams alive and strong.

Yes Ken bought the ZL1 from Fred Gibb and yes he still has the orig. engine to the car. And yes he is a pain in the ass. I remember a few reunions ago him unloading the ZL1 out of his trailer at the drags. It was a downhill slope on grass and the car got loose and down the hill it went with about 5 guys chasing it...Priceless..

Yeah only problem is all we have is a mental image of yours. No one actually got to see that stunt! However, that "image" likely well surpasses what it actually looked like.

Here's something I found a while ago. Ken has so many neat stories about his racing past. One of my favorites is his win streak in his '39 Cadillac, which he still owns! A real gentleman, and all around fun guy.

Jeff,

It would be cool for people not familiar to know where he bought the car...how much it was new...some cool memories of the car that he has...whether it's always been a race car or was it ever street driven...you know, stuff like that.

I know the answers to some of those questions, but I'm sure people would like to know. It would make fascinating reading

I agree w/ Bruce. Would someone in the know please do a write up on this Awesome piece of history for people like myself who have never had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Barnhart. I would love to hear some history.

Hopefully, one day I will have the pleasure of meeting Mr. Barnhart and see his car make a pass at a Super Car reunion.
