I tried to get ahold of BC and he's on his way to Texas,I can't be sure on the production numbers he told me but I know it was somewhere around a 100 maybe 200. What you say makes perfectly good sense and I trust your knowledge (and documents!) I just thought it was interesting that he had mentioned that they were putting these new high horsepower big engines in those vehicles. and the fact that somewhere around this time he said that Chevrolet had canceled its racing program. Your knowledge is priceless, and I was wondering if you have a library?
We had two motors, one 421 SD and a 389 SD. The 421 came from Pontiac, was a complete motor that was shipped to Worth from Ray Nichols. In the early sixties Nichols was to Pontiac what Holman Moody was to Ford. When Jimmy Pardue switched to Plymouth Worth bought a complete 389 motor from him
Thanks Keith, never saw the JJ video before. I could listen to Robert and Pat speak of the "good old days" forever. I'm sure there's others here that could add lots more. Thanks
Fascinating era that I also could listen to the stories forever
That is why you need to log all this down and make a library out of it. Otherwise its history that is either forgotten or nobody knows about it, and it is so awesome to hear these stories! Thanks for sharing and please don't stop!!!!!!!
Two motors!!! Jeremy was telling me down at Charlotte a couple of years ago how many of the new motors (RO8’s I think)were being assembled in the Childress shop and dyno’d in a week
