Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
I know Jim sold the car years ago and Tina Summerton drove it in SS for a while. It was repainted white when Summerton's had it. Where is it now? That car should be restored to the way Jim Woods campaigned it! "The Tanker"! Ya gotta love it! Jim

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
Larry,
the car you refer to with bucket seats was a 1978 olds '88' and is currently in mi. where it originated and owned by wally budzinski's nephew. wally ran the car for years. It was built as a racecar and had 25 actual street miles on it and still does. I used to fly up to mi points races and wally would meet me at the track and I would drive that car at the points meet. It saved me a lot of time that way.It had a 403 just like mine and ran just as well.It is blue with white interior(gorgeous).My old TANKER is owned by my friend Terry Tolsen here in fla.and will be back out racing very soon.

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
The Tanker looks to be a "98" model?

Re: Jim Woods' Oldsmobile Stocker "Tanker"
The tanker is a regency 98. The car I was talking of with the bucket seats and white interior belonged to Wally and was a 88
