Speedsters with numbers

I am looking to compile a database of speedsters that have run with numbers consisting of those that are current and those of the past. This is a good place to start and I shall start with my family consisting of numbers 66, 21, 26, 42, 77. No need to attach names unless those owners opt. Of course if there is a known number and a name from the past that is lost perhaps we could find where that speedster went.

Bob Rankin up at Northwest Vintage speedsters maintains the "official" number registry for speedsters on the West Coast. Bob's e-mail at NWVS is
br@nwvs.org. I'm sure most of your family's cars are registered with Bob. Hope this helps.

I am aware of the official registry. I am more interested in being able to compile a list of names associated with numbers that have been used in the past. More history than current. While I won't offer anybody else's name up personally I will include #77 was built by Chadwick Azevedo

If you are a current owner and willing to give your name please do, I see Ed's #4 in the background. I remember a time when the SCVMTFCA endurance run had so many speedsters that there were very few open numbers. Anyone with old vintage ford magazines where we can identify numbers to owners in the past is great. I currently do not have names to go with these speedsters

Number 13 just above was also run as number 19 some years. If you look closely at the "13", you can see the alteration.
