Notice the Jenkins Competition decal on the rear quarter panels. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

That car has been through alot of races over the years
It most likely has either No driveline or a seized engine
Last seen in Nassau ....
I hope someone can help put the peices together

If you noticed the door P Gallo and sons His sons would really like to put it all back in one peice
The man that bought the car from Mr Gallo passed away someone must have seen it

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Is he related to a Nick Gallo in NJ?

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Rick,
I will print a photo of the "Fun City Hauler" and ask around. There is one person in particular that may know the location of that car. I will speak to him. He is a master mechanic that has been involved in drag racing, here on Long Island, since the the 1960's and has worked on all the big name cars through the years. He still runs a highly respected race shop. I will let you know what his answer is.

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Nick Gallo ? He might be i'll put a call in and ask him?
and Nick (GM-26)that would be great Mr. Gallo sold the car to a guy nameed Nick in 1978
any details on him send me an email I will give you what I know ...There is no Jenkins driveline in the car by the way if ever, it was removed in 78 when sold to it's last owner.
and just for anyone wondering ..NO Motion 427 was put in that car ..

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

OK
After speaking with a couple people I have been forwarded to S & K speed shop in Farmingdale L.I. does anyone have contact information to them? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Talked to S-K but i think i might have talked to a younger guy that would not have known about the old timer race cars ...does anyone know who I would want to ask for there that might have raced during the earlier years

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Rick,
You have an email.
Good luck.

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

I drove to the race shop where I was going to ask about the '57 Nomad. It was closed. A friend of mine is going to let me know next week where it moved to. I'll keep you informed...

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

sounds great ...Thank You

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Rick,
I spoke to my contact and he knows the present location of the Nomad!! It is still on Long Island. He went on to tell me that he was the "driver" of that car for over fifteen years!!
While speaking to him, in his office, he showed me many pictures of the car from years ago. I will send you a PM with a phone number to call.

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Great thread.......glad they will be able to see the car...

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Congrats on finding it. It would be neat to see some current pics if the owner will let them be taken. A pic with the orig owner and the car would be killer. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: Attn. Long Island guys

Re: Attn. Long Island guys
 

Rick,
You are very welcome.
It was rewarding for me that the connection was made.
As far as Larry is concerned, I will continue to inquire who was the original owner to his 1969 Baldwin-Motion Corvette. Maybe with time, I will cross paths with a person that has the answer. Meantime, the search continues...
