“A little about this #88 car. The frame and running gear came from the 88
of "Moose" Carey's car, a 37 Ford coupe that ran Morris Speedway.
Bill bought it and ran it a few times, but it was
too heavy for him. They went to work
and rebuilt it with a chevy body on it the frame,
but kept the original 298 cu. In. power plant she had in her. The last year of it's
life he ran it with a 350 chevy powerplant
in it.
It was then sold to Ralph Rastead,
who ran with the Mid-State antique club, but the car was later destroyed.
Bill started out his career running a late-model at Mid-State around 1967 or
so with a 1961 Ford big block. First
as a blue car and last as a gold car. He had a habit of dumping it in the
first turn, and we nicknamed him A-Frame Billy”.
A warm LVC
thanks to Rick Parry for the commentary on the #88 car he was hoping to find
on LVC.
