Thanks.

I bought the (a) clone in 2011, from John Wojociechowski.
He might be able to help you, as he was close with Willy.

That car and Willy were are "arch enemies" in 1979. We battled for the division title the whole year. Willy wound up winning the division and the number 11.
But we wound up with the number 1. He was one of the first people we called after winning it.
RIP Willy it was great racing with you.

the last time i saw lee and ray liddy, they were selling parts together in the same booth at the winter swap meet in the better living center on the big e fairgrounds. i think about 1992. what year did he die and what were the circumstances?

This IS the W A Lee car that you own. You bought it from Tommy who lives in the Utica, NY area. I have shared much info about the car with Mike. I do like the front plate that was made for the wagon. A great tribute to WA.

Not sure of the place though...can you help?

Think Willy had the car painted twice after that...the next job had the familiar
"WA Lee and Wife" lettering on the car...and then the last had the infamous
upside-down lettering on the car...

How'd I do guys?
