The 1962 Ford was troubled at the start of the season by inferior aerodynamics. Ford introduced a Starlift option for the convertible that rectified this issue. The Atlanta 500 was the only race it was used. NASCAR banned it since it didn't completely cover and was obviously only for a racing advantage. In 1963, Lorenzen soared to the top and became the top money-winner and the first to break the $100,000 barrier in one season. In that amazing year, Lorenzen won: the Atlanta 500, the World 600; the Volunteer 500, the Western North Carolina 500; the Mountaineer 300 and the Old Dominion 500 bringing his total winnings to $122,000. In 1964, Lorenzen won: the Southeastern 500 at Bristol; the Atlanta 500; the Gwyn Staley 400 at North Wilkesboro; the Virginia 500 at Martinsville; the Rebel 300 at Darlington; the Volunteer 500; the Old Dominion 500, and the National 400 at Charlotte Motor Speedway; six of those races are current "classics" on the Sprint Cup Circuit as of 2013. He also won USAC-sanctioned Yankee 300. Lorenzen's 1965 Ford Galaxie replica In 1965 Lorenzen won: the Daytona 500; the Virginia 500; the World 600, and the National
