Default Cool Z16 picture

Found this on Facebook from the daughter of the then owner. This photo was taken approximately 1967. Unknown if the car still exists and was raced in Texas at the time.

In the late 70s there was one that was towed in from Benson Az to Tucson. Also red. Had tow tabs. I don't know what happened with that car...Joe

That is a big trophy to win running B/S class so was probably a big nationals race
He could be listed in 1967 National dragster race results
