How about Jerry Stein and his 63 Max Wedge "Teacher's Pet"?

I still have my original Cobra Jet car that my brother and I bought in 1972.

Brian Fink · 01-01-2010, 09:23 AM

We can't forget Dave Lebrun and his national event winning / record holding 69 Camaro . I may be wrong , but I believe he has raced this car since it was new .

We bought the 1971 Cuda 383 in late 1979 and started racing it in 1980 as bracket car. All the time working to make it a legal stocker, three years later on a cold night at Nashville it ran the 1/8 mile index. After 30 years its still my favorite physics problem.

Even though it's been parked for 20+ years. I purchased my 1966 Chevy II in Nov-Dec of 1978. I wish I never would've cut it? Sadly, 30 years ago, it just another old car and there were still plenty of them out there. I often heard my father tell stories of a couple old cars he had, that he wished he have kept. Well, I guess I kept one of mine!
