Next time you get hail damage...maybe it's a good thing.

" Edna come quick! There's a hail warning!!"

A friend of mine bought the former Lou Vignogna 1964 Plymouth Belvedere, last year. My friend is a N/SS racer and raced a 1963 Belvedere with a 1965 front clip on it, powered by a Hemi. He refreshed his Hemi this winter, and installed it in the '64 Belvedere. With Lou's son's O.K., he is relettering it with Lou's name, to retain its nostalgic history, and hopes to race it again this summer. This car was well known in the New York/New Jersey area.

Didn't Lou have a 65 Belvedere also? I always thought he had a 65. Wonder if those pictures are at Lebanon Valley? That's where I met Lou the first time..........

I don't really know anything about his racing days; only that a friend of mine ended up with his '64 Belvedere. I noticed a corner of a '62 Dart in one of the pictures painted in the same colours. Maybe his son?
The '64 was raced earlier as "Earthquake"

They had a bunch of cars over the years and I believe his sons drove a lot of them. They were all painted in the same colors. One was a wagon named behemoth.

A quick google search - this is the car I remember....

My buddy, Bob, bought one of those, new. He still has it, with less than 25,000 original miles.

How many second hand miles?
