Dave - I asked Ray Shea yesterday about the #83 Sedan.  Here's what I learned:  

There were two of them.  The first was built with square tubing and he flipped it at Wall and it was destroyed.  

The second #83  was built from a frame/cage/sedan body that they bought off of someone else, and finished it up to make the 2nd #83 sedan, so when it hit the track, it too was a new car.

Ray said he drove at Pleasantville twice and I can't remember if he said it was the first #83 (square tube) or the 2nd.  

Ray also said he drove a '39 Ford coupe #72 at Pleasantville in the late 60's.  He said it had a star pattern next to the #.

Correction on the two 83 sedans . 

The first sedan was semi built and bought from Bob Schultz. This is the car Ray flipped in Turkey Derby #1 and was scrapped. 

The second 83 sedan ( pictured ) was completely built by my Uncles - John & Harry Megill and Ray. It was a straight axle until the 79 season and at that time was updated to A frames. The car was sold to Larry Reed I believe in 1982 and was run as a #55. 

Thanks , Happy Easter everyone ??

Thanks for the correction Doug - I couldn't remember who Ray said the one partially built car was purchased from.

Question:  Who is driving the #83 in this picture?

• My uncle John Megill is driving the car. It was rare for the sedan to run Pville. The 3 window coupe ran much better there. Either the coupe blew the motor or got wrecked at East Windsor. This is back when my uncles were running 4 nights a week.New Egypt , East Windsor, Wall Stadium and P’ville.
