Re: ZL1 or Iron car sold at Nurse motors Canada?
In response to your remarks Pete:
- I have no paperwork from that Caprice deal. Believe I paid a few hundred difference at the time. The Caprice was a previous GM Executive car and decked out to the nines.
- Nothing available through the original dealer (St. Remy's) as I've already checked on that.
Anyway, maybe he can give it a shot when he's looking for other stuff.
Keith - I was living in Oshawa when those CanAm races were going on at Mosport and went to them myself. I remember one weekend some of the cars were being displayed in an inpound yard somewhere in the northeast side of Oshawa. Darlene and I drove out there that night. It was a huge yard and the race cars were displayed way off to the right with a whole crowd of people hanging around them. As we drove in I looked way off to the left where there was a small building and a man was standing there leaning up against the building. Nobody else within 300 feet of that area. We were probably about 200 feet away when I said to Darlene "That's Mark Donohue leaning against that building". She responded "You're nuts, how can you tell from this distance?". Well, we drive over there and, sure enough, it was Mark all by himself. He has always been my favourite driver from any era or any division. We talked for about a half hour or so and then he had to leave. Nobody else ever came around during our discussion, it was great. It might have been that same weekend when Mark set the track record for Mosport which I believe still stands today. Sorry for rambling and reminiscing.
