Howard Ursaner, Madison, Wisonsin
Howie Ursaner is a native New Yorker currently residing in Madison. Howie's need for speed was fueled early. He spent junior high and high school under contract as a professional slot car racer where he traveled the country winning on the small track but Howie wanted a street racer. So, the day he got his driver's license, he purchased a 1966 427 convertible. Within weeks, Howie had flared the fenders on the '66, put on wide tires, changed the Silver to Blue, and converted the body to a '67. With a far away look, a smile, and a wink, Howie will only admit surviving "those good ole days."
Leaving the frenzy of New York for Wisconsin , he proved you can take the boy out of the city but you can't take city out of the boy. His first Midwest purchase was a split window out of a barn. He restored it, launched, and destroyed it at 135 MPH. Howie reminds us, "My next vette was a 65 fuelie coupe that I drove everyday for six years at a sensible speed." In 1988, Howie began buying, selling, and restoring Hemis, Cobras, and Midyear Vettes. He's sold many to museums and private collections. He has a teenage daughter and when he is not looking for Vettes, he spends time at home enjoying the slow lane.
