Bob/Dino,
Here’s a pic of The Fugitive at Dover around 1974. Bill Cureton from Newburgh bought this car new at Bard Chevrolet & raced it at Dover until the track closed. It was a 396/375hp 4 speed, that later, had a 427 installed by Bard’s under “warranty”. The car was briefly returned to the street after the track closed, & then stored from about 1979 to 2009. Current owner Rich Roth, from Marlboro, is preparing the car for the Island race. The same 427 is being put back in, as well as all of the original lettering being recreated. This is a VERY low mileage original SS car. Both Rich & Bill plan to be at Island on the 18th.
