Cool picture of him and the car. Thanks for sharing.

I think he was 16 when he talked his mother into buying him a 289 car. She thought it was safer than the motorcycles he was riding back then. Sadly, it turns out she was right in the end... %/

My condolences to his family. Wish I could have met him.
