Default Re: Dyno Donīs -64 A/FX Comet

I think youīre right Bill. The red car was probably a -65.
When Warren told us about the car, I remembered a picture of it in a book called: SUPER STOCK, dragracing the family sedan by Larry Davis. The picture of Dyno Donīs red Comet (at Piedmont Drag Raceway in March -65) is in the -64 chapter.
It says in the book:"Originally only eleven A/FX cars were built, ten hardtops and one station wagon, all originally painted white". Another quote:"The lone Comet station wagon was campaigned by Don Nicholson, who later got into a hardtop coupe. Nicholson then offered the station wagon to (Fast Eddie)Schartman and they campaigned together throughout 1964".
I assumed the red car that Warren referred to was a -64, built in a second batch. But I guess it was a -65 model built in -64.
