Official US records confirm he was born in 1923 Greasywheel (talk) 08:40, 28 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This page calls the pictured Turner car a replica of the '66; this page calls it the real thing from '67. Which is it? TREKphiler ^{any time you're ready, Uhura} 23:37, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language does not match the different gens of cars

"Since then, NASCAR required each race car's roof, hood, and trunk to fit templates representing the production car's exact profile"
