She looks exactly the same as in 1986/87, except for the extra dust and perhaps a few rodent critters [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif[/img]

I've got people working on finding pics from its racing days if any exist. I'm told it may have been in Car Craft issue covering Springnationals in 1969, which would be the Sept. 1969 issue. Or maybe coverage at Indy during the first years of racing. One sticker on the car says &quot;Participant 1969 AHRA Springnationals&quot; and the other says &quot;National Hot Rod Association 1971 World series Championship - Eastern Conference&quot;. I still have to contact the former owners who raced the car. </div></div>


Bob,

Get with Bob Ashton here on the site. He may have the magazine that you are looking for. He has a &quot;few&quot; [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/beers.gif[/img]

That car is local to Chicago area. It is &quot;Doctors Orders&quot; race car with a similar history. Raced since day one. Based on conversations with owners family and individual who sometimes drove (raced) it, the trail is cold on finding it.

It is almost an exact match to El Malo, except for having a white hood stripe vs. gold on Doctors Orders.

Kurt, I just noticed you're in Janesville. The 403 in the red car was all re-done by CP Motorsports, Peter Graves who is in Janesville. Maybe you know him.

Peter fixed the abortion of a job that a certain well known CA Oldsmobile engine builder passed off as a crate motor.

Yes Bob, I do know Pete.

Very, very cool!!!!!!!
Bob is a GREAT GUY and I hear through the grapevines that he has secured a set of &quot;vintage&quot; Cragar SS wheels. Gotta love the '69 W-31 race cars! I do have a biased opinion, though!
