Update.. 'Russ Dunmire' 68 Hurst Olds Drag Car

[Mr. T]

I would take on a restoration like this, but not many guys would. I applaud your efforts!

Jim, Can it be told publically why Kevin S, chose not to this former race car restored for his own significant collection ? Being from Seattle, I both attended and participated in drag racing back in the day. I remember the car well.

[CamarosRus]

Never mind........I'm sorry for NOT having re-read the ORIGINAL story first.....
Having met Kevin and visiting his spectacular collection twice, I must say I really miss his presence on this web site.....

What a neat car... Good for you!

Hell I drove that Car in the Summer of 79. I had a friend that worked at Dunmire, we took the Car out for a Little spin behind the Dealership. That thing was a Beast.

Jim
Derrell passed away about 4 years ago. I knew him while he was restorting the car but did not witness any work being done on it. Another friend of his, Kim Larsen,lives in the Portland area and may have assisted on the car. Your best contact is Greg Rollins of Supercars Unlimited. Greg can be reached at his business 503-244-8249. Greg is a supplier of Olds mechanical and performance parts and has supplied just about every Olds in teh Pacific northwest. Greg can probably point you in the right direction as he will know who did what to the car.

Thanks for the info! I'll certainly get in touch with him.
