Shores sprint car purchased from Kokomo In.
 

I have been chasing the history of an old (probably early 80's) Shores sprint car. Latest info I received is,it was purcased in Kokomo Indiana .Names are not remembered who from but was believed to be a pretty well known driver and/or owner at the time....the car was heading to Mansfield,Ohio. The buyer did remember having to go down a dirt road to get to where the car was and while looking it over, a severe snowstorm cropped up.Just hoping the right eyes may see this and ring a bell.....thanks, rc

Does anyone from Kokomo remember having a Shores car around 1979-81?

Bob Frey drove a Shores car for someone in northern Indiana I think about that time. A red car.

Over the weekend, i was able to get some clarification.....the shop was actually in downtown Kokomo and was accessed by an alley-way type of road.....anyone remember anything??thanks again...

Jim Lipkey had a shop close to downtown, not sure if he sold a Shores or not. I will ask around.

Thanks Jerry, if you could find that out I would sure appreciate it! I know its a long shot, but I'd sure like to see where this car originated.

Is it just the frame or tail tank, lettering, paint, etc.?

Re: Shores sprint car purchased from Kokomo In.
 

It was purchased as a complete car including engine back then.... the buyer just couldn't give me any further details.....its gone through 3 different owner/drivers since the one i'm looking for so the body isn't original...I'm looking for the owner who sold it to Mr.Prosser from Mansfield Ohio...

That wouldn't be Roy Prosser, or a relative of his would it? Thanks! Bob

Now Bob that's funny. Probably George.

Jimmie, you don't reckon George is some kin of Roy's do you, lot of them old MRA guys settled here in the Midwest, course you ain't quite old enough to remember the hey day's of the Roarin Roadster's! There's Amick's, and Shackleford's all over Indiana, them guys musta had some stories they never told, they's towns named after some of them! Keep your powder dry! Bob
