Wish I had something more than pictures to add to this topic.

Great history lesson and memory lane but still.......

Maybe a quick refresher is needed again

-Earliest known owner circa 1982 was Lou Vignonia
-Sold to Tim Hennessey circa 1985
-1985 to present, ownership & history is known

-Lou told me he purchased the car from some dude in Mt. Cisco NY. It was sitting in an apartment complex parking lot.
-Car is reported to have been Red & Silver at the time Lou purchased it, so probably campaigned in the late 70's in this color combo. There was a NHRA Division 1 bracket nationals decal on one of the quarter glasses, so it's last races were there somewhere.



-It has always been a auto car, never had a stick in it.
-It has been mini tubbed, with the leaf springs installed inside the frame rails,





The above photos were taken by Tim Hennessey in 1985. Lou had the car stripped & painted in this white paint by Paul Pitman. It was never raced in this color.
