Re: Old Stockers
 

Lots of cool looking 55-57 shoebox cars posted. Does anyone remember or have pics of this one? Raced Super Stock around Ohio, Indiana, Milan and Bristol in the mid to late 70's. There was also a 64 Savoy and 68 Cuda with the same paint scheme.

Here are three Oldsmobiles; I have more but have to figure out how to reduce the size for uploading.

OK, here are a few more '60s stockers.

Nope, maybe someone else on here does or which division it was from.

Re: Old Stockers
 

Nice looking '57 Chevy super stocker and I also recall seeing this paint scheme on some other cars as well...a '68 Cuda rings a bell.

Re: Old Stockers
 

Brainbeau Olds ran their cars one year and then sold them. This Black Arrow car is an ex-Brainbeau, I have been told. I was also told that Brainbeau took off their "trick" stuff before selling the cars.
Note also the first car I posted is Ron Garey's '66.

Re: Old Stockers
 

Do you have this car now?

Re: Old Stockers
 

1968 Photo's

This 442 ran in B/Stock in 1967.

Doc Burgess bought the 67' 442 'National Record Holder' from Brainbeau Olds (Braintree, Mass.) at the end of 1967.

I think the purchase price was $4000.

When Doc first raced it in April 1968 (D/Stock) the car was running in the 12.40's @ 112 MPH.

The NHRA D/S National Record was 12.43 at the time.

The NHRA National Record for MPH was 113.63, which was
set by, Loyed Woodland (in this 442) at Sanford, Maine. (in July 1967)

It was still capable of winning Stock Eliminator Events.

But, by the end of the year, the engine was tired from the hard racing, the piston rings were washed out, and the car was pushing oil galore.

At the end of 1968, the car was struggling to run 13.00's.

At the end of 1968, Doc put the 67' Old's 442 up For Sale,,, $3300.

No takers, so he put the car on the shelf, and stored the 67' Olds at his friends Gas Station.

Doc offered the car up to Lee Valentine, who I believe bought it for $1500, sometime in 1969.

Lee raced it in E/Stock.

Another Dragway Automotive car, 64 Savoy. This was Loren Zeedyks shop's name and car before he started Zeeker Chassis. Back in the day and as it looks today. The 68 cuda is in the background.

As usual another interesting story on an old stocker...wonder what ever happened to the Black Arrow Olds, did it eventually get restored by someone or did it end up like his '65 Plymouth, anyone know for sure.

Re: Old Stockers

Re: Old Stockers
 

From info I found, Loren Zeedyk with Dragway Automotive of Ohio owned, raced and/or sponsored quite a few cars back in the 70's into early 80's before he started Zeeker Chassis. A 64 plymouth Savoy (possibly 2), 68 Cuda, 79 Volare, 71/72 Duster or Demon and a 57 Chevy that all had the Dragway paint scheme. Another Demon or Duster that just had the lettering and a 66? Mustang that I am unsure of graphics.

He may have been associated with more Dragway Automotive cars and hoping maybe someone here knows if the Volare or other cars are still around.

Re: Old Stockers
 

What brand of wheels are those? I've seen some other cars using them in these old photos and they just don't ring a bell from what I was used to in the old days. At a glance, they look like Hursts but the spokes appear to be flat instead of concave.

Maybe the Fenton decal is a giveaway, but I sure don't remember them making those wheels. I mostly remember chrome slots and black spoke mags from them.

For trivia points, anyone remember the two other "brothers" to the Cragar SS while used the same style?

During this era I was racing a 340 Duster with that stupid 4" bolt circle so I was limited to Ansen aluminum slots unless I wanted to redrill the hubs/axles. I do have to admit that Mopar's craziness saved my wheels, though. One morning I came out to my car to discover two wheels on the same side and three twisted off lugs between them.

Good thing the thieves weren't smart enough to know about left handed threads.

Re: Old Stockers
 

Hurst wheels maybe ????
