Trying to find Jerry Buczkowski

[tom406]

Hey Paul,

Jerry B's '66 Fairlane is here in Tacoma, WA. I was at the Kruse Auction in Auburn IN in '97 or '98 and came across Jerry and his Fairlane in the Car Corral section. I brought one of Jerry's very nice 8.5x11" glossy flyers home and gave it to my Ford collecting buddy, Gary McKay. He subsequently made a deal with Jerry to buy the Fairlane (plus a like-new F250 and Jerry's car trailer to boot.) Gary took some pics while he was there and later showed them to friend Jim Hughes. Jim, a Chevy guy at heart, spotted the Camaro in the pics and was smitten. He put a deal together, and soon the SYC Camaro was on its way to the NW. (IIRC, Jerry still had an L78 Nova and was storing/selling a friend's yellow W-code 427 '67 Comet).

As you may recall, Paul, Gary McKay is also the same fellow who had previously owned the 1700 mile Ex-McGruder '66 Hemi Satellite you guys picked up at BJ in '07.

Now sing, "It's a small world after all, its a small world after all......."

Tom, Yeah, it's amazing how small this world can be with great forums like this!!

When I spoke to Jerry, he said there was another R-Code '66 Fairlane in the same car corral in Auburn owned by a guy from Fort Wayne named John Jennings. Did you see that one? It eventually found it's way to Florida and now is sitting right here in my shop. VIN is two digits from Jerry's (now Gary's) Fairlane. I'm trying to track down Jenning, who has some of the previous race history of my car.

Ya gotta love this forum.

Paul
