Re: 1972 remlinger olds

thanks guy's i don't have the heart to cut it up and make it to race specs of today. i will strip and repaint it and try to keep it like it is.when i worked for dover i started with him in 1971 when my 71 car was owned by fornof old's caddy.in 1972 when the car whent back to the dealer and we got the 72 car. i became friends with the guy that bought my 71 car i raced it for him in pure stock while i raced my ss/r 66 belair.i won my first ever nhra points meet in the 71 olds in 1974 at laplace dragway.in 1975 my friend sold it to another friend frank butler.in 1978 frank sold the car to jimmy gaidry i bought the car from gaidry in 79.and as they say the rest is history.i allways liked the red convert when wheeler had it.and for years i tryed to buy it from the guy that wheeler sold it to.when he died the car whent in a mini storage for about 28 years and one day his wife called me to buy the car. jerry jr was working with me at the time so he bought it. we kept it at my shop for a couple years and i bought it from jr.i wanted to keep it in the family. so as long as i am breathing the two cars have a home.i hope everyone enjoyed the story of my two old's.

Ed, I looked at that pic too, but I don't think Jack's car ever had the red top.

Sammy - Seems I remember seeing that Olds with Jerry Dover Jr. driving it at LaPlace in1975.

Re: 1972 remlinger olds

dwight jerry jr drove it for sure in 1976. and jack mullins car did not have a red top when he owned it a man named stewert pitre bought it from jack and painted it with a red top.he also owned jack's olds and painted it with a red top also.
