Seeing as my car was invoiced to Hi Performance Motors, I saw it fitting to acquire Ray Wolff's business card.  Rest assured, it will be put into a preservation frame with ultraviolet resistant glass for my work desk and be made a part of my automotive shrine hereof.  Thanks to Mr. Estes.

Best,

Richard E.

Cool card for sure, Richard.

I wonder how pissed Carroll was when he noticed someone spelled his name wrong. 

Maybe yours is one of the few surviving cards.  I can imagine CS dumping the rest in the trash and setting them ablaze.  No matches or Zippo lighter required...he just used his "colorful vocabulary" to ignite them.

That and I think on the Cobra keychain there is or was a dispute over whether the return address was correct, no? Funny thing. Wrong means it's original. Correct means it's fake. Crazy world.

   For those of you who never met or knew Ray , he was very down to earth and matter of fact. His own shop , Ray's High Performance , was a treasure trove of original 62-67 SAI parts. Anything was for sale and his prices were very affordable. I spent every extra dollar I had there until his untimely passing. I still have some of those items today. He was all about the cars.

Someone printed up a batch of those cards some years back, I remember seeing them at Knotts. Those are fun trinkets to have..

FYI so that there is no confusion, the ones Vern has sold came from a buy out of items from the Ray Wolff estate.

As I said, the card will go in a preservation frame with ultraviolet proof glass to be worshipped every February 14th (the first race and the first race won by a G.T. 350). The flying Mustang lives.
Thanks for preserving the record, Bob. Vernon sells top notch stuff.
