Where was that picture? Looks a lot like the old E. St. Louis track when they ran North to South.

[Chevy454]

No idea...I found it in this album (http://good-times.webshots.com/album/560952407uZhXiX) over at webshots...

[Stefano]

Very Cool! Never have seen that pic or heard of Denny Sayer.

It looks very Much like Dick Harrell's '66 Nickey Sponsored Nova/Chevy II. I would think it was the same car?

[Chevy454]

I knew I should've Googled this earlier...

If the info @ DragList is correct, it says Denny Syar was from California, and the car was sold to Denny in '67...?

Looks like they fixed the hood where the injectors went through...also, does the door & trim below look wierd to anyone else?

[Stefano]

Great set of pics. Lots of Serious Gassers/Afx cars.

[Chevy454]

Stef: stay off of that site...or else you'll be there for HOURS looking through all 2000+ pictures! Kinda like I did...http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

i thought the injectors were covered up by that brown towel looking thing??

[Chevy454]

Ha! They are indeed!! I thought itw as something in the background, but upon looking at it again I see it's covered by a towel or something...probably something for transit?

So, wiseguy, what's the answer on the door trim/paint? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

[jeff morocco]

uuuuummmmmmmmm i dont know......maybe the new "numbers guy" knows ??

[Chevy454]

It's got the same lower door treatment....

[John Brown]

Fiberglass door that never got the lower trim on it? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Denny Sayer Still owns the car, the pic was taken @ Fremont Ca. He raced the car up until he sold it in the 80s. The guy that bought it got rid of the front end but never did anything with the car. So Denny bought the car back & has since collected all the parts to restore it except the Bill Thomas front end. The car is in Vallejo Ca. You will probably never see this car restored in his life time.

I think he just flat out doesn't care. Has has LOTS of money & time so its none of those. I'm SHOCKED that nobody here knew this.

[196365]

Thanks Pete...... Long time lurker & glad to be here

[quick-bowtie]

I bet Denny will be recieving alot of phone calls asking to sell the car.

Then I suggest that you keep an eye in the Vallejo obituaries...... cause thats the only way you will get it http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I've heard rumors of the Dick Harrell '66 AWB Nova still being in existence. If true, this car would probably be one of the most significant race car finds of all time. That car was extremely famous and well known. Original Nickey sponsorship, Bill Thomas built, and Dick Harrell owned-and-driven. It don't get any better than that! Fully restored, I believe the car could rival the Ray Allen '70 Chevelle in an auction setting. I'd love to see pictures in it's current condition.

This is NO rumor.......... Valerie Harrell talked to Denny WAAAY back in 05. The car was never lost. I have known where the car is since 01, but my friend has known since the day Denny bought the car. So why is it that that nobody has seen the car done?????? I will tell you why..... Cause its just a old drag car that he has had since 1967. I think that he could care less about the history. I would like to see the car restored as much as the next guy, but I would like to see it with Denny's name on the door. Who cares how much $$$$ the car is worth? Its worth nothing if you park it in some garage or private museum were nobody can see it.. That car was, is & should always be a race car......

[sYc]

You will get no argument on here about where old drag cars belong, just ask anyone who has been to a SCR. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif

[Kim_Howie]

Yeah, just another old race car. Big deal, there everywhere. I even heard of one in Iowa. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

Who came up with this fast back idea anyway? Bill Thomas perhaps? Seems like I remember something about these from way back but not sure of details.

They are all JUST old drag cars. Some have more history than others, but never the less its JUST his a old race car...... to him http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif At least the car has been indoors &amp; not for sell. It could be sitting in a farmers field that everybody knows about rotting &amp; not for sale http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif I'm working on getting pictures. Now this is no easy task. So don't look for pics any time soon.

Rad!!!! Have any more pics that I can post up??? I have spent countless hours finding pictures online. I hope nobody gets upset if I take pics that they have posted up online. Just trying to put together a little library of Nova gasser's &amp; AWB cars for everyone to enjoy. Please fell free to take any pictures that you want http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
