The picture send by Bud Bussiere brought back some memories to teammate Dick Pierson. Along with this picture of the car from Dick's private collection, here is what he remebers about it: "Hershel bought the car from Richard at Daytona and ran the Winston West Series for a couple of years. He tied the all time win record with that car for Winston West, he and Parnelli Jones have 11 wins in a row. Hershel was actually leading in the 12th but was pushed into the wall in San Jose California by another car and had to park. Hershel then he sold it to a local guy named Don Selley and bought the 1971 Plymouth that Chuck Shafer rebuilt into the Petty car.
The 71 car never really did as much as the Roadrunner however, it just wasn't as good a car. Don was a friend of mine, so when Hershel sold the car I went with it and was Don's crew chief on that car. We pretty much maintained it at the McGriff shop with Pat and others working on it most of the time, so not much changed. I have attached a photo for you, the last one I have of that car taken at the Portland Speedway. We won a couple of races with it, but Don was not the driver that Hershel was. We sold the car to a local guy in Portland that ran it in the local Sportsman series. Those were the days !!"
