Hello from NJ

[Roadman]

Good tips from your "regrets". Perhaps we should start a regrets thread so others can learn from it. 

                             Thats a very good idea Murray.

That's a great story!  Bought it right there on the side of the road.  WOW!

So. I picked her up in 1993 .  The owner brought her to nj from ny in the hopes of selling her at mopars at e-town.  Well he broke down on the way  (20 min north of e-town) and a friend asked him if he wanted to sell it when he was on the side of the road .   Well he sold everything that day ... I got the chally and my friend bought the van and trailer and  the owner took a bus home .

How great would that be to find your dad's old race car! 

Tell me more about your 73.  Where did you find it?  Now that it's done what are your plans with her?  Do you show her a lot or more a street beast?  What do you like best about it and is there anything you do different?

Welcome @lulurocks(Ken)   Thank you for joining us.     Love the before and after photos.  Nice job!

Any idea what happened with your dads race car?  Is it still around?

My father was a 50% owner  in the team , the other owner bought my dad out  in the late 80's and moved out to the midwest.  Now from what we hear he is incarcerated for tax issues.

The "rumor " is the car was sold in  1996  ...   Ive been looking ... Unfortanly my dad has no data at all on the car , really dad nothing?  Grrrrr.

Welcome.... I love that you learned from your dad and his racing. My son is now 16 so I am hoping he might be able to say the same thing.
