Sorry, but I have to disagree.

We raced Carl at Quaker City quite a lot during the 65-67 time period, and had the paint the car wears now, the gray/with dark sides. That is the original paint. He won sixteen combo races in a row at QCR in 67, beating my cousin's "Lucifer" 64 Hemi Dodge in four finals. Carl "Holeshot" Schodde was unbeatable during that period. I have 8mm films taken at QCR during that time, and it is the orignal paint.

The Greg paint job came a bit later, around 1970. I also have 8mm films of the car winning class at the NHRA Summernationals in Englishtown, with the Greg paint job. Personally, I prefer the original paint. I must just be getting old and conservative.




The current paint was done around 1975 and while similar to the original paint, It's different. Almost the same color combo, Slightly different lettering.
