Never heard of that problem before!!!

Glad to see the progress. Get it ready for the OCA nats in your area in 2010.
I was in Tacoma a few months ago and drove by the old Russ Dunmire location,its still there all boarded up,some signage still remains.

Jim; did I see this car parked on Woodward last weekend?

I was driving on the other side when I thought I saw it...

It will be well worth the effort. Anyone know of any other Olds race cars from 68-72 that are out there? You just dont see many vintage Olds drag cars...

[/ QUOTE ]

I believe there may be one of these early cars recently discovered in my area. A friend cleaned out an elderly ladies garage and got a ton of Olds parts but missed out on all the cars that she had recently scrapped. I had heard that the one car was a 68 Hurst/Olds, that turned out to be a prototype car with a 455 Olds motor. Luckily the scrap guy sold the car to another local Olds fan (initially for parts)and the car was saved before the wrecker. This car is a stick car. I'm curious, were any of these first seven cars 4-speeds?...and what would be the value of a car like this??? Thanksss

Seems like I read there was at least one 4-speed built for one of the higher-ups sons. That has been years ago that I read that.
