                        hey dino, i have the car, its been sitting for about 44 years. probably one of the lowest mileage hemi cars. bumper told me everything he could. i was hoping for another perspective view.
                        do you remember a guy Bob Wessel, ran a red 68? 427 camaro? or John Oreilly. Bumper told me his gang was named The Rev Masters. he also said bobby lagana ran the car for him.

                                        Tony Cavaleri is the cousin of a guy I worked with at Cook Ford in North Tarrytown (now Sleepy Hollow) in 69-71. He was partners in a Speed shop in Croton with somebody else. Thats where I heard Bumper got caught tearing up a freshly paved road near Pocantico Hills.

                                                        There is a blast from the past, Walt Gregory, Billy Hahn, Charlie LaFarge. When I went over to Larsen for parts for Cook Ford I used to sit on the rollbar in front of the counter. That rollbar has been in my Mustang since about 1972. I later worked with Ben and Pete the service mgr and service writer at Larsen.
