    I see the picture of my great friend's Opel GT Jim Zane which was retired quite a few years ago. He is still racing an S10 powered by a V6 Stage 2

    Pic #3 on page two (Buick V6 Olds Starfire) is of my uncle, Fred Aldrich. He was a long-time engineer at Oldsmobile in Lansing and still lives in Michigan.

    On the second page , picture #13 is the Judd Brothers Skylark Race car,anyone got any idea of what happened to this old race car? Last I heard, {24 years ago in a kenne-bell newsletter} Jim Bell said , he thought it was somewhere in a Oklahoma field. Anybody heard any stories where it might be?

    Great stuff, guys! Wonder if someone with an old KB catalog could post a pic of their aluminum valve covers page, 350 specifically. :)

    Picture #4 of the dragster in the first set of photos is Mike Christiansen of St. Louis. He still owns that car and has it tucked away in his shop with a ton of racing parts. He used to belong to the Gateway club but I have not seen him in a couple years.

    Hey TexasT, I still have the same catalog, my car's on the bottom left of page 16, I bought a lot of stuff from them, always dealing with Forrest. He had me send him a bunch of pictures, he used one shot when we were always racing at Englishtown around 1983 or so. :)

    Whoa.

    Anyone know the scoop on the 67 Post car that has 'Reynolds Buick' on the side? 4-spd? Color combo? Anything?

    A few years ago I picked up a rough 67 4-spd post car that was a former race car. Kinda matches the same look as that car. It has this under the hood, old school 70 Stage 1 with MT headers.

    Wishful thinking i'm sure for this to be it, but would love to know the story of the car in the book. It would be cool to replicate that car if it doesn't exist anymore.

    My red Skyhawk was a Kenne-Bell car bought in 1978 and sent
    to Alston Chassis Works.Its was a V-6 test car which was then sold
    to Mike Tomaszewskis who up graded the car further.It was then sold and sat for I think 10 years till I bought it. Just FYI if anyone cares ?
