Truly one of auto racing's all-time greats. As a kid I had tried to build a model kit of his 1963 Indy 500 winner.  A treasured item in my racing memorabilia collection is Parnelli's autograph that I obtained from him at Pocono in 1973.  Coastal 181 has the fascinating book "As a Matter of Fact I AM Parnelli Jones!" that is a great read.
