GENE BLACK

I am looking for a photograph of the NASCAR driver gene black. I need the picture of one of his cars he drove. He raced in the mid 60s over the span of three years.

He was from arden nc.

Gene had an interesting rumor spread about him when he arrived on the NASCAR scene. People thought he had killed his parents for the insurance money to go racing. Truth was his dad killed his mother and then killed himself. Gene was also a vietnam veteran.

any help is greatly appreciated

Hey, thank you very much Perry. I remember that race only because he spoke of it when we were in NJ.

i HAVE two more questions for you. From your actual picture. can you tell if his name is in cursive or block letters. I cant blow the picture up enough to tell.

Also would you have one of these you could spare. I would be willing to purchase it.

I am going to try and have this car made into a 1/64 diecast so i can put this family friend in memorial lane where he belongs.

hey i will check out your books. My email is shlbysalen@aol.com jpeg is best thank you very much
