hi, i'm hoping someone might have have some old magazines or documents (or know how i can get verification from any of the old, or current sanctioning bodies). about a 1966 fairlane that purportedly held records in 1982,83,84. of A Stock-10.76 @ 124 & B Stock- 10.93 @ 128 .Ran out of the Southern Calif area. in my notes i have written: AHRA Division Record Holder & IHRA High Points Holder(sanctioning bodies might be wrong but should be correct). car was run earlier as i was told it was built in 1967. run and built by Jim Van Gordon. looking for any info concerning those records or any earlier race history/pics.i also have in my notes that it also ran: SS, Modified, D optional, F/X ? i'm not sure if that's all true. but i'm sure about the stock class. car was a springtime yellow GT w/427.also looking for a Randy Chapman who helped build car. both i was told worked for a time at a Ford plant in Pico Rivera ,Calif. car was (i believe) sold out of Foulger Ford. yes, i know where J. VG is . but i am looking for info. from other sources first. i haven't spoken to him in 15-18 yrs. i'm sure he's a great guy. and i know he went on to be a top performance car and engine builder. but, at that time, he wasn't super chatty.any info. appreciated.thx. please send me a message. i don't come look here often.thx again

Are you sure you don't mean Jim Van Cleve? He had a Fairlane that owned the B/S record for a long time.
