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.
I’m up in Red Hook send me a PM. And I set up at the Rhinebeck show in May. Sausage and peppers to the first 20 “gavones” 🙄 🙄 🙄

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.
