Subject: Ron Halls Avanti
"These guys just keep coming back. Alittle Avanti history,"
"many of you are familiar with Bill Burke"s Avanti. It first ran with a
Paxton super charged 224 cu in Stude in I think 1964 setting a record. The
car has been powered by Chry. Hemis and chev. motors almost continuously
since then. Running to nearly 240mph. "

-Bill told me that he's also run FE Ford motors in it as well :)-and that
the car has never seen the street. Studebaker sold it to him new -for use
as a race car COOL!
-Dirty Doug stuck in New Yawk.....with Hil---- :(
