Actually working on picking up a 67 strip car right now. Pretty cool little car, not cut up too badly....has been on the strip for many, many years. Still titled and can be licensed for street with minor fixes.
Any price range thoughts on something in *decent* shape, automatic (6 cyl car originally), all plexi windows, glass hood, fuel cell, MSD, cage, tubbed with Ford 9inch, no rust? Want to make sure I don't make a mistake....looks like a helluva lot of fun! Also, looking for a vintage paint scheme to run on it. What would you make it look like, if you had one? Also, looking for vintage rims to run on the car.

I like lace paneling for the paint scheme. On the white stripes and the sail panels? Maybe even on the quarter panels, doors and fenders? Get out the old drag magazines. Good luck with it!

I think the one brother still owns the car today. The other Kimball brother died some years ago. Mark [/ QUOTE ] Jerry posted above he thought Larry finally sold the car to Mecum within the last year...can anyone confirm/deny that? I can't recall that the car was @ the KCIR nostalgia event, but I've slept a couple time since then...and, when we asked him about bringing to the SCR years and years ago, he wanted big money just to haul it across the state. ![]() |

With the talk of the SD Tempest on Ebay, I thought this picture was appropriate...I snagged this from the HAMB site...it's Beswick's SD wagon @ the Chi-town ampitheatre...indoor drag racing, what's NOT to love!

2nd owner of my S/S ran at the Amphitheatre a few times. They closed it after one too many racers had encounters with the concrete posts. Go figure!

One of the coolest projects we ever were involved with was the Dick Arons/Gordy Foust/ Berger Chevrolet SS/E Camaro. The last picture shows Gordy and Dick at Arons shop in Detroit were we debuted the car...BKH
