Shown at many gasser events around the country and shown in the ISCA Autoramas. Last few years the car has been driven on occasion to local shows and minor changes have been done. Most recently a new fuel system and the removal of the 90's peach color on rear.We don't have to sell the car but just would like to see it used more than our time allows.
