Didnt Larry Lombardo drive Grumps cars also?

**Salvatore** · #**254** 04-05-2011, 12:01 AM

Don't think Larry drove into the later camaro years though. Bill started to drive again in late 79-80 I believe. Larry probably drove the camaro all of or most of 79.

That Ford Fairmont was almost bought by me, would have been another car going overseas [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]

It had a BOSS 429 engine but we wanted just the chassi. I think they asked $25.000 for it back then in 1982.

WOW, a close one. At least that old Pro car got saved! HA! You guys must be robbing banks over there.

These are pics of the later Tony Meehan,a local legend in my area. One interesting thing I see on this car is that it is probably one of the few 2nd gens ever with an axle in the front.

Click on the pics to open them,then click on them again to enlarge them to read the text.

And if you like 1st gens,here are some of Tony's SS396/375 67.

Saw the car run a few times at Raceway Park!

Here's a picture of my 68 Hurst Olds charging down the 1/4 mile at Seattle some time in '68 with Lynn Welfringer at the wheel...

Sorry for the crappy scan...My restoration is finally nearing completion.

Jim - that is good news. Please keep us posted (members rides) with photos of this terrific car. Glad someone took the time, effort, and $ to bring this car back to its former glory.
