Side note: My 8 year old just walked in while I was posting this picture and said, "Whooooaa - Who's car is that?  Wow is that cool!" 

I wish there was something running around the short tracks today that he could get as excited about....

Really cool car Chuck and thanks to Jim Maxson for bringing it to the attention of the Vault!

I ran it in open shows at Middletown for several years, than around 1981, I sold the engine to a couple of guys that ran it in a prostock dragster for almost a decade. The injectors went to an alcohol outlaw drag racer in Michigan and I traded the rolling chassis (to a young guy that wanted to build a Sportsman) for a 71 Camaro street stock body and rollcage. He never finished the car, but he did eventually move South and I think he was the rear tire man on Mark Martin's pit crew for several years. I believe he still works for Rousch in one of the fabrication shops.

I finished the Camaro and ran it for a couple of years in the Expert Street Stock class until 84 when the rules changed again and this change meant I would have moved back to a sportsman or modified.   Financial considerations and a career change (requiring lots of domestic and international travel) made my decision for me.  I won a feature in the last year of competition with the Camaro and then sold it to a guy that was going to run it at Wall.

Probably a lot more information than you wanted to know. Anyway, no body else ran the modified and it was eventually parted out. I chose the Vega wagon body because it was something different. The doors, in fact, were actually cut down doors from the 55 chevy late model body I ran in 71 and 72.
