Re: Don Bowles passes ….
Don was involved with this A/SR in the early 60’s even though the guy who painted the lettering on the door misspelled his name. I am currently building a model of this car with the 427 SOHC engine. In the late seventies he was featured in the Windy Hollow program with some guy named Thorne. Tried to load some pictures but my file size was too large. Thanks for posting mj.
