I'm flying to Akron-Canton, Ohio on July 26th. Will have a couple of days with Michael Myer to prep the avanti and then will caravan with Myer family to South Bend. I'll be there the whole week of the meet. Why don't you drive Sheba to South Bend and join us? After the meet I'm driving the avanti back to OKC so Sheba and Betty Jane could race all the way back to Oklahoma and with your Officer Dave Status you might be able to keep us out of trouble with any Smokies on the way back.Last edited by okc63avanti; 07-06-2012, 08:10 PM.sigpic

I've been researching the records and invoices that came in a shoe box with my car and have identified its previous owners:
Monte Brown; San Antonio, TX 1951-1978
Clarence K. Stout, Jr.; Universal City, TX 1978-1981
Brinley; 1981-1982
Wayne Nunnery; San Antonio, TX 1982-1983
Rev. Ken Swearingen; Natchez, MS 1983-1997
Chuck Bowman; Edmond, OK 1997-2005
Charles Peterson; Edmond, OK 2005-2012
I've also figured out that its had some partial engine rebuilding done in past (ring job, turn crank) around 1999 and at that same time the car was painted and interior redone. The owner Chuck Bowman had a dues receipt for the Central OK Chapter of SDC. So at least one owner if not several were SDC members. If by any chance any previous owner is an active SDC forum member please contact me or if any of you remember any of these folks.
Thanks, Johnsigpic
