Now for some vehicle history:
The first owner, Jere Pisani, was a wine salesman here in Northern
California.
From what I understand he did pretty well for himself. Well enough
to go out and buy a new 1964 Plymouth Fury, Black on Black, with a
365 hp, 426 Street Wedge and a (new for '64) Four speed! This car
was a beast right from
the dealer! I asked him once, "Was it fast when it was new?" and
Jere replied,
"I had four daughters and they were never late for school!"
Jere started racing the car as a street car and had a lot of fun as
a member of
the 'Concord Accelerators' Car Club. This was a club that basically
said,
"Keep your car as stock as possible and see how well you can tune
it for the
Quarter Mile." Well from what I understand Jere couldn't leave well
enough alone
and soon found himself moving on to faster times. The car was also
his daily driver
and by 1966 he had racked up a little over 40 thousand miles on the
car. This is
about the time he started to get serious about racing the car and
getting into,
the very competitive, Super Stock racing. Sometime after 1966 the
car was taken
off the street and used strictly as a Race Car.
The racing continued as he became obsessed with the sport. "I HAD
THE FEVER!!" Jere said. "We would take the girls camping on Friday,
set up camp, and take off for the track. We would race Friday
night, go back to camp, wake up on Saturday, go to a different
track and race again! Then wake up Sunday morning and race all day
Sunday!! Yah, I had the FEVER!"
After I bought the car in the summer of 1995, I had it sitting in
my driveway when my
