Island Heights, NJ history?
 

Anybody know anything of a guy named Peter Fujarcik around the Island Heights area in the '60s and '70s? He had a Nassau Blue '62 409 Sport Coupe. He turned 17 in 1962. (He's no longer with us). Had a younger sister, Lisa. Looking for any history I can find about the car.

Thanks
Verne

Hey Verne, Name sounds familiar from storys Ive hear in the past from my uncle who is longer with us either. (Seems that age group didnt last long https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/frown.gif) Did this guy have a nickname?

Verne, how about posting the photos of how you found that car languishing in a garage. I loved seeing them awhile back on one of the other early Chevy sites and would love to see them again. Seeing the car might jog somebody's memory. I'd also like to see your '61 ex-drag car!

Sam,
As I recall, I think he did have a very strange nickname, but I forget it right now. I may have it on a taped conversation with one of his high school friends who lives in Jersey City. His parents lived in West Orange, and that's where he was with the car when new, before moving into the Island Heights home. That home was the family's "shore house", so he was down there quite often in the early years. For those early years he painted the wheels blue and ran baby moons.

OK, I tried, but it didn't work. Here's a link to a friend's site where he has some photos of the car. Maybe this will work.

Nice, Verne!

Very cool Verne !! Love the redlines on it !

Re: Island Heights, NJ history?
 

Those are just on there as rollers. The E-T wheels on the front had flat tires that wouldn't inflate. I'm going to leave the E-Ts on it with blackwalls. Day-2 car for sure! By the way, the chrome wheels are RPO factory optional '64 14x6s
