Ron Garey's 68 olds

Chuck, I sure do miss racing with your Dad. Always interesting conversations with him and his contempt for the powers that be was legendary. I remember he was tearing down in Memphis one time and the tech guy asked him " is this supposed to be like this?" His answer was " You're the one tearing it down don't you know?"

Thanks tom, but I don't think that one is Dad. There was aChesrown dealership in Columbus and they had a driver too.

Bunkster.......I remember the 68 Hurst Olds that Ray Cramer had......It was in 1968 and he had it at the same time that Ron Gary had his.....It was an original silver and black one....Ray and I were good friends with Hillbilly Duncan....One day we were all at `Trails testing our cars and Ray offered my wife a ride in the passenger seat in that Hurst Olds........After a low 12 second pass she came back much more excited than I ever made her......Ray was one of those guys that made racing fun....

I have a number of photos of Ron Garey's cars, but don't know how to post in the forum. The first one was a 66 W30 442. If you email me at Donnellyj@msn.com I will send them to you.

Chuck,

Have you seen the article in May 8 th, 2007 issue of Muscle Car Review that is about a 1968 Cutlass? It is just a short piece abourt a guy in Ohio finding a Car in the weeds that was raced as a Hurst Olds and had Chesrown on the doors and Ron Garey on the front fenders. They say that it sarted out as a red F-85 Police Interceptor.

Take Care,

Daren
