I've seen the lock delete covers on fire vehicles. I suppose that's the last vehicles in the world you need to lock yourself out of. I always thought they would be good for race cars. By the way racecar spelled backwards is still racecar.

Brian,there were VERY few real 61 409's built as I'm sure you know. Whats the story on your friends car ? Is it real ? Hardtop or sedan ? I only knew of 1 that had paperwork to prove it as real and it is still in the same persons hands up in Minnesota.The re-pop SS emblems have been around since at least 1983.They were officialy re-popped in the later 80's and sold by vendors etc. A whole crop of 61 SS 409 Impalas grew up in those later 80's and early 90's. It seems every other add in Hemmings now for 61 is an SS !!

The car is a light gold with gold interior. As far as I know its a real car. It is a bubbletop style car. He has had it a few years I guess. Has a lot of odd cars. Shelby race car, Wo23 Hemi, 63 Super Duty, 62 409 ragtop, L88 Vette, 67 COPO Corvette silver/red gut among others...BKH

Don Fezell has a 61 409 similar to the one you are describing Brian. Also has a 4 door sedan 62 409-409 3 on the tree! This car came from my home town so I know it is real. He also has 3 Z-11 Impalas.

Yes Charlie the person I am referring to is Tommy. I have personally seen the Chrysler 300, the LS-6 Camino, the ZL-1, and his 427 Biscayne. He drove the 300 to the local cruise night a week or so ago and created QUITE a stir. He just sold a 69 L-78 4-spd Chevelle post car. The LS-6 Camino is Black.

Tom that name sounds familiar.Didn't he restore the Old Reliable 62 ????

He owns the "Old Reliable" 1963 that belonged to Jenkins. Also the Allen Green Z-11 and Enoch Chevy Z-11.

Fezell is a good friend of mine. He is a super guy. He really has some of the rarest cars in the world. Has two Yenko Deuces along with many famous drag cars. The 61 409 car that I mentioned earlier is a different guy. Don will have some of his outstanding drag cars at York...BKH

Don was one hell of a drag racer back in the 60s. Used to run a B/MP back then. That was at Skyline Dragstrip, New Castle Pa. When we first started running there they still had a flag man! He won many top eliminator trophies.
