I ordered the 66 Corvair in Sept 65, took delivery on Nov 15, 65 and took it to the track the next weekend.

At least a few up here in Div.6. Jim Devines G&H/S 340 4speed 72 Duster was bought new in 72, and John Buczynskis E/SA 340 AAR Cuda are still activly raced by their origional owners. Also, Dave Wren owns the same 63 Max Wedge Plymouth that he runnered up at the 68 Winternationals in S/S, as well as the 68 Hurst Hemi Barracuda that he bought new. Neither are campained in Stock or S/S anymore, but both have been down the track in the past 2 years. Although they didn`t buy them new, Jim Isherwoods SS/DA Hemi Belvedere has been raced since new, and Jim Has owned it since 1978. Although it hasn`t been out in a few years, Cyrus Gallants A&B/SA 70 SS 454 Chevelle ragtop has been in his posession since 1974. Jim Johnstons raced his 55 Chevy SS/OA as a Modified Production car in the mid-late 60s, and has been a S/S car for about the past 15 years or so, after spending many years as "driveway art."

my dad, who is 68 bought his 68 427/435 4 speed corvette in 1970. He raced it as a street car until 73. Its been a race car ever since. Its back to being a 435 and hopefully soon it will be back to a 4 speed.

Gary Williams SS/NA Comet, Art Peterson's SS/JA Pontiac, Doug Holder's CC/SA Camaro, Richey Pauley's C/SA Mustang, all racing the same cars since my dad began racing in '74.

I think John Dinkel's Stage 3 Max wedge car might qualify for this list?

Anyone confirm this?


See you at the races,

I hope these two links work (im not too computer savy). He didn't buy in new but well worth a mention. Don Jackson
