Ward Watson History

Bill84 · 5/18/17, 7:50 AM

I'm looking for someone with knowledge of the cars that came out of the Ward Watson facility in the late 1960's. I purchased a very used 1968 Ward Watson chassis in about 1980, which I turned into an outlaw dirt car. I never took any photos of the car as it was when I purchased it, so a lot of it's history has vanished with the discarded body panels. I've been trying to track down the car, to see if it's still in existence, and am actually making some headway. If I do find it, I'm considering purchasing with the intent to restore it to it's original glory, not the cobble job SOD car that I raced. Any help with the historical aspect of this car would be greatly appreciated. I found a photo of a car online that looked a lot like mine did when I purchased it. I have included it here, along with a photo of how my car looked when I raced it.

Thank you.

Bill

Roy Caruthers might have some info on those cars. IDK but he likes that era. Joshua Shaw is also into cars of all era's, Both have knowledge far greater than the average racer or fans on stuff pre 80s
