Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Looks much better than it did. Ben's car did not have spoilers or the stripe. There were 23 copos on the lot when he bought his. I have photos of this car from 1969, I'll have to dig them out. Indy 1969 or 1970.
Some copo experts said this car wasn't a copo because of the body number, etc. Jerry

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Great shots Ken,
The 65 AFX car is a good friend of mine, Danny Householder. Lives about four miles from me. We started out racing at Capital Raceway together about 1970! Those were the days. Jerry

Re: Old Drag Car Pictures.........
Ken, Did Al Pfeiffer also have a Black Anglia at one time? Maybe not Black, (Dark Blue?) but I recall seeing him run at Indy at least one year. I used to letter race cars and the lettering style on his car caught my eye. I probably have a picture of it SOMEWHERE.

[/ QUOTE ] Dennis.......I don't know.......Al passed away a couple of years ago......His cars that he raced were Show Cars, Al was a Detail Guy before anyone knew what detail was......all the slotted screw heads holding the Aluminum floors in the car had all the slots in the same direction along with everything else..... Al raced the 40 for a while with a Caddy Engine, then with a Hemi....he then built a 33 Willys around 65 and was very successful with it until he put a Clutchflite in it ...... At the Grove he did a wheelstand leaving the line and flipped the car over on the Roof.....He sold the car and never raced again.......... Ken
