Bought my dad's old '67 Buick Funny Car "Ingenue"...

You got that right. They've got some really cool kits on there.

 

Did you see Scott already added Ingenue to his site?:bglasses:
Now I just gotta contact Keven at the decal site and send him upclose pics of the lettering so he can produce decals...waaay cool!
I would love to construct a scale model...but I have my hands full with the real thing,lol.:laugh:

I also contacted Ron Pellegrini to see what he remembers about the transaction for Ingenue's body and if the rumor a third body was constructed is true,I'll let you guys know what he replies with.:beers2:

 

I didn't notice that, but I will. I hope they hook you up with some free model kits. :TU:


Edit: Checked it out. When they get the decals up, I will be making an order.

 

Yeah,pretty cool.He just got done correcting the spelling.

I also just got an email from Ron Pellegrini,he sounds like a great guy.
He says he remembers the guys picking up the body had funny "accents",lol.
He also said they charged $995 for the bodies after a $200 discount if you used their Fiberglass Limited logo on the car,we didn't of course.
He said he does not remember a 3rd body ever being constructed and he did say he remembers our car well because of all the custom parts it took to construct it.

Really a nice guy...:beer

 

What ever happened to Ron's car? Is it in a museum somewhere? Or gone the way of the Nova fastbacks?

 

Wrecked as far as I know...

That's the picture I found hanging on Steve Malise's wall in VA when we went back to NC last October,Steve was the driver of my dad's AA/GD dragsters...that picture was possibly the very first time the car was ever run before it's May '67 debut @ Englishtown.

Norm,

That's Ron Pelligrini's Super Bird after he leased it out to the two guys names lettered on the side so no,not the same car,it's the sister car and the only other '67 GS400 body ever made by Ron.
