For absolutely no good reason, I'm posting a picture of a friends stock car. The picture was taken in the summer of '69. The car had been a light pink, but after the first weekend of racing, they made some enemies on the track, and painted it blue. Not sure if that helped. Things were always a little rough at the track. 'Powered by Joe' refers to the owners cousin, who provided a Hemi from a late 50's Chrysler for the project. I'm sure those fins provided some stability in the corners! Yeah, right.
I think they ran it two or three seasons before finding other things to do, pulled then engine, and junked what was left.
The object sticking out the front was the bolted on tow bar. The tow vehicle was a '68 Fury 3 convertible with a 383 and 4-speed. My brother eventually ended up with that car and stored it for many years, and it was in excellent condition when he sold it in the mid-80's (mistake). Last heard that car ended up in Texas.
The stock car was a Savoy. No Fury's were harmed in the destruction of this automobile
