does anyone know how many of those real cool cars (the ones with the charade bodies were built and where they are now From the first one that went from Gary to Brian Winstanley in NN. Next one to Ross Dallas 8p/Chev V8 Next one to Murray West 17p/Ford V8 Next one to Gary Parkes and to Brian Winstanley in NN again. I make 4 in total. The West car had major alterations to full coil over suspension etc. The others all stayed with the Dodge torsion bars. From memory the Dallas car ended up with Paul Perkins for along time and then onto standard stock duties(now 97p?). The West car went to Mr Burmiester and from there?? The others have been covered previously. |

I understand Ross Leonard had a Gary Parkes built car back in the early 90's when he raced for the Hawkeyes.
Ross, are you able to shed some light on this?
Regards,

That is correct as Ross bought the car off Clyde McGrory-1g who bought it from Gary Parkes when he came out of retirement.Was it the 1st spacey that Gary built?

Did Brian Winstanley (22n) only have one of Gary Parkes' cars and just paint it differently every year? My dad changed the colours but he has owned 2 parkes cars |

GP's last 2 flat chassis were the the ones that graced the Winstanley Race Garage.  |

Anyone got a photo of the Parkes Junior car that has rolled out of the shed?
Looks like 4p rides again, and I think its even a home built Parkes Jobby?

The others have been covered previously. The Dallas car 8p is not the 97p car now,, The old Dallas car will be appearing next season (was sposse to be out this season but ran out of $$) under the number 95p which belongs to Rob Goodin,,I know this as a mate & I have been rebuilding it for Rob & we have done alot of research into this chassis |

I have studied the pics carefully from siderails down & have found enough evidence to confirm that YES we do have the 1NZ chassis of Garys. Also in my search i have realised that the Dallas car is NOT our chassis as the year Gary defended the title both Perkins & Dallas were racing in the same meeting & Gary had a new car & i also have written text from the defending year that states that Gary had sold the 1NZ chassis to Perkins. Gary has stated there is someone up north currently restoring a chassis of his from these days who believes he has the old 1NZ, Does anyone know where this guy is as we need to get hold of him to view what pics he may have just to put our minds at ease. Pics of the Perkins chassis with the extra bars & how the chassis looked from the owner my mate got the car from will be posted at a later date |

Well there has been some pretty exciting days the last couple of weeks,,, Saturday my mate & i had a visit from Gary Parkes to look at the chassis we have sitting in the shed to see if it was definatly one of his chassis's & after some hard looking he has confirmed that it is one of his chassis's that he built. once we had that confirmed within 24hrs i had scoured every pic i could find & 25 yrs of old programmes & found the 2 vital programs that show certain chassis details,,,Then i saw a pic when Paul Perkins had the car & had added some real funky bar work onto the front which we had removed. I have studied the pics carefully from siderails down & have found enough evidence to confirm that YES we do have the 1NZ chassis of Garys. Also in my search i have realised that the Dallas car is NOT our chassis as the year Gary defended the title both Perkins & Dallas were racing in the same meeting & Gary had a new car & i also have written text from the defending year that states that Gary had sold the 1NZ chassis to Perkins. Gary has stated there is someone up north currently restoring a chassis of his from these days who believes he has the old 1NZ, Does anyone know where this guy is as we need to get hold of him to view what pics he may have just to put our minds at ease. Pics of the Perkins chassis with the extra bars & how the chassis looked from the owner my mate got the car from will be posted at a later date bill peat is restoring it well guys its been awhile, but ive finally managed to scan the information & pics of the ex 1NZ car that was sold to Paul Perkins, im not sure when the pic of Paul was taken but as you can see it has some funky bars on the front which you can see in the 2nd pic of the bare chassis, Pic 1....  Pic 2.....  Pic 3.... from the 1991 NZ Stockcar Champs programme  |
