Saw it when it was new. Great stuff. Tony Defeo has no equal.

Was that from '85/'86? I'd love to have a copy of it.

Great article from back in the day! Tony and Neil were regulars at some of our late night Central Jersey antics.....Airport Road, Depot Road, Double Trouble Road, Miller Air Park, etc.

One memorable evening occurred with Tony driving an '86 Vette auto that got in a tangle with three GN's! Edwin and my '86 cars and Don's '85. My car made it in print doing a mean side-by-side burnout that also ended up in their sister publication Vette. Good times!

I'll try and dig out that issue and post the scan of the article.

I sold 2 of my GN's to a Tony Defeo 3 years ago...hmmm....

BangShift.com : Forums : What ever happened to Tony DeFeo???

May or may not be him, but he claims to run a coffee shop and still works on his rides.

Great article. How those guys got ahold of brand new cars is beyond me.

Anyone know the month/year of this issue?

I still have that issue...It's "Cars illustrated", Vol.4, No.5 . Curiously, there's no date...

Claude. :wink:

Here's the issue that had my car in it. Vol 4, No 9. Display until Feb 10th (1987) Along with a little teaser pic of my '86 GN and the '86 Vette on Airport Road in Lakewood, NJ sometime in September of 1986. Check out the captions!:biggrin:
