Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
 

My father-in-law, John Bender, has been racing his '67 Plymouth in Stock and Brackets and in Stock again since his then-girlfriend, and now wife, Peggy, bought it new.

Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
 

A couple of NorthWest MoPars I can think of have been around "forever".
Dave Wren still has the aluminum nose 63 Max Wedge Plymouth that he was runner up at the 68 Winternationals with.
BC racer Jim Isherwood has been running his SS/EA 67 WO23 "Super Stock Package" Plymouth Hemi Belvedere since 1978 or 79. I believe that it has been a drag car all its life.
Also, although he sold it a few years back, Buck Kinneys orange 71/72 Chevelle convertible was racing in Super Stock when I first started racing in the mid 70`s, and looked virtually identical the entire time, it was sold at Barrett-Jackson 2 or 3 years ago.

My money is on Div. 4 Super Stocker James Lee and his 55 chevy. I remember seeing him and Ed Wright racing in Tulsa back in 1973 when I was in high school and I'm 54 now.
Sorry Ed. haha

I`ve been racing my Buick Skyhawk since I received it as a graduation present from my parents in `84.

Re: Who has raced the same car the longest time
 

How about Ken Montgomery's 65 Ply SS/B Hemi car, he has raced since new. Also Leon Miranian's SS/BA Corvette. He started racing that car in 1975? I can't think of any racer that set more records, lost them and reset them in one car than Leon. The old set up was for everything from SS/FA to SS/DA. Sooner or later, he may very well set a record in SS/BA. By the way, Leon's racing started back in 1959.

I have to reply to Mike Bassin post, Now we have a idea how old Leon is LOL, anyway i think my SS/CA car has some history to it, i bought it from John Armstrong in 04 and he build it as a SS car in 74, has and still does hold as many records as Sony Records has. LOL and it is a real Z/28 with Title and yes it is priceless, Brian

Truman Fields come to mind. He's been running that same car for a LONG time.
