Comment from Scott:
The # B-3 was sold by Augie Moschera to Chic Ronan for
$200.00 in the winter of 1965. The B-3 was fitted with a stock 312 cu. in.
Ford motor, repainted maroon and white, renumbered 35, and hit the track
for the first time on May 30, 1966 at East Windsor. The photo of the 2 racers in the snow was taken in the winter of 1969. The blue and white coupe on the left was purchased by Chic in 1968 to replace the maroon and white coupe on the right. Shortly after this photo was taken, the "old" 35 was hauled off to Tilghman's Scrap Yard and, unfortunately, "laid to rest". Chic then built a garage in his backyard in the Spring of 1970 so we could work on his hot rods in luxury and comfort. |
