Bob Fraser's 409
Bob Fraser's 409
The rarest of the 409's, the 1961 came from the factory with one Carter AFB 4 barrel carburetor and was rated at 380 HP

This particular car was purchased from Kenneth Chevrolet's used car lot. I know because I fell in love with this car when I saw it and wanted it worse than I ever wanted any car in my life.
I was in High School at the time and every evening I would try to rationalize why I needed this car to my parents and every evening it was the same answer. NO!!
Well, one day after school, I went by the car lot to sit in my dream car and pretend I was "Dyno Don" Nicholson in the finals at the 1960 Winter Nationals .....IT WAS GONE!!!
Don Nicholson
I couldn't believe it. I only needed a few more nights of pleading.
It turns out that a friend of mine, Bob Fraser HHS60 had purchased the car and at least kept it in the family ...sorta.

Thanks Bob for sharing "THE CAR" with us.
