Thanks for the post guys... That orange 65 Chevelle from Division 1 in the recent photo is owned by myself, and my father Jim Fontana. I was contacted by a friend when he noticed this post on classracer, and he asked me if it was the one we owned. I didn't think so, but I wanted to ask my father just in case. As I suspected, he was positive it isnt the 65 Chevelle you're looking for. My dad Jim bought our car in 1974, and it was a street car. The guy he bought it from drove it to my dads house, and its been a racecar, and in my dads possession ever since. It was powder blue and a black interior (its an original SS). It started as a stocker, and then in the mid 80's my dad started running it in Super Stock. Its been in Super Stock ever since. It is nice to know that there are a handful of other 65 chevelle super stockers out there!!

I added a few recent photos from this year of the car, as well as a photo of my dad racing it back in the 70's when it was a stocker.

Thanks for the shout out Ronny!! See you and Scott this season!
