Legends of Bucks County! Where did they do all of this racing?

[/ QUOTE ]I must refer you to Barry Ferris at Langhorne Speed Shop. He Has been there since 1968 and was a wrench at Reedman before that. He has known The COPO since the day it arrived at Reedman as He wanted the green Car next to it! He Has sold parts for the COPO to the First 3 Owners and is one of the Many first hand accounts I have spoken with. He would be able to tell you the Actual Streets that were utilized for Tire Tread Diminishing acts of Bravado!

You get an 'A' for adjective usage. I was born and raised in Langhorne, PA and bought a lot of my speed stuff from LSS. However, any legends of Bucks County did not race in Bucks County, the real racing was in Philadelphia - from just over the line at the Woodhaven dead end to Front Street, to down by the Airport. Also, the only legend I know of is Donny Grasso.

[/ QUOTE ] I did not claim to know the actual Streets He raced on. That is why I defer your line of questioning to a Place you are familiar with. One "Langhorne Speed Shop" and "Mr.Barry Ferris" in Particular. you should also be familiar with him, given His lengthy employment there and subsequent Purchase of said establishment. I attached a photo in my last post of "L.S.S." and this attachment will show Barry with The COPO's 4th Owner, John DiGiallorenzo. I never heard of "Donny Grasso". and his claim to fame was??? No disrespect intended towards Him or you, But remember I was 6 years old when all of this activity occurred! which leads me to my next question, How Old were you in 1969? I am Born and Raised in Delaware County and our "Activities" were in South Philly at Front Street, 11th Street, and Down by the Airport behind the Auto Mall and 63rd Street by the Junkyards. Of Course it was fun fun fun till the Cops turned on the Fire Hydrants!!

I was 2 in '69, so your car racing on the streets of anywhere was before my time. I got my fair share in though, also on Front, Woodhaven, Red Lion, and down by the auto mall. Remember they hooked about 150 cars down there the other year?

Grasso owned a few speed shops, and is the last registered PA owner of a '69 Yenko Camaro that Cliff Ernst now owns.

[/ QUOTE ] What was his Speed shop called? You are only 4 years younger than me, so we may have been at Front Street at the same time. Red Lion Road, is'nt that one of the Nations worst Intersections?? I never did any Car action in the Northeast, But I did a lot of Motorcycling up there. Northeast Philly Girls were Very Friendly!

Lets not forget the Meadows in Port Richmond.
I spent many a night running from the Men In Blue trying to find the next road.
Do you remember The Doggie Diner across from Roy Rogers???
I have known Barry for many years. GREAT GUY!!!
He worked for Pete at Ben Pilla before he brought Langhorn.A friend brought a Green LS6 from him
about 10 years ago. Last I heard it was still collecting dust in his garage

Just so everybody knows the motor in the COPO was done by dunn & grasso

I assume you are the previous owner to 12bolt. Are you clarifying this statement he made in the original post.

"He removed the Engine and took it To The Drag World Famous Engine Builder, "Radar". the Engine Remained Standard Bore and He Balanced and Blueprinted the 427"

Just trying to follow your statement and what it means.

[12bolt]

You mean the Legendary "Grasso"??

[70-SS/RS-L78]

Legendary…….. I have heard of Dunn and Grasso but Legendary is not
what comes to mind….
