Comment: Peppy Fernandez may be the
only driver to have raced both a Mustang Fastback, and a Camaro (67 or 68)
bodied Sportsman racer. Two of the most popular street cars of the
day, but very, very few used for modified/sportsman. Peppy's "daring
to be different" wasn't limited to just his car body style... He was
also known for hauling his racecar to the track inside of a hollowed out
school bus. Definitely a favorite of The Vault, and somebody whose cars we can all remember from 43 years ago like if we just saw them race last weekend. |
