Forgot about MB. From what I have read, his car was a twin to Dick's except for a working driver's door. Looking at him in the car makes it easy to see why the need for the door.

I met Mr. Doran awhile back (he still lives in Pebble Beach) and it was great talking with him about the good 'ol days.he is so unassuming,you'd never know who he was.Great guy to talk to.

Speaking of F/C's,my dad built the first flip-top '67 Buick Skylark F/C called "Ingenue" and it was sponsored by the New York Buick Dealers Association.It was powered by a blown 430 ci Wildcat buick motor and my dad's shop was Brooklyn Speed & Machine.I found a photo of it on the 'net at NY National Speedway vs. M. Durham's Strip Blazer '67 Camaro.
I was just a kid but I remember when he picked up the body from F-Trends in Chicago in the dead of winter...that thing must have been 5/16" thick if it was anything!

Anyone heard about this car...?
