I'm told this car ran at Nazareth with driver Lou Farina behind the wheel (1969?)


Looking for any additional info (who owned the car, how often it raced, who else might have driven it, etc.)

Thanks in advance.

This car was owned by Jack Coulson and his Father whose name I can't remember.  It was distroyed at Nazerth National when the throttle hung and Lou Farina hit the wall a ton.  Lou said that the throttle hung against the air cleaner,  i think the car was built by Harry Steinkoff.  It had a Tony Fiel 427 Chevy engine back before he was building circle track engines.  I don't think it raced very much.  Car was based near Belvidere.

There was a thread about this car with another picture (dated 1969) of it back in June 2012.  "roboweld" said that this car was built by Harry Steinkoph for Jack Coulsen from Belvidere, NJ and that Tony Feil had built the engine for it.  "George 33" recaled the building of the car.  He also reported that Lou Farina, Sr. was driving the car at Nazareth National when he hit the fence and tore up the front clip.  "George 33" said the car was rebuilt with a new frame.  I had recorded this information because Belvidere is nearby and I liked the story.

Hope this helps.
