Comments: Comment:  Sammy Beavers drove this "King Chevrolet #121.  (Check out Sammy's matching helmet sitting inside the car.)  At one point the King Chevrolet sedan was purple and yellow with Mike Grbac at the controls.  Then the following year (I think) there were matching red King Chevrolet #121 and #122 sedan's, with Sammy in the #121 and Fred Dmuchowski in the #122.  After that, I remember a funky looking wedge shaped maroon (around 1977), and then gold and white Apollo or something like it bodied #121....  There was also a Plymouth Arrow bodied #121at one point that was painted pretty much the same as the above sedan but had a small block with possibly Jay Aten as the driver. 

In the late 70's early 80's, there was the #121 Gremlin's that were driven by Billy Pauch and also by Billy Osmun.  I am told that one car was an original Grant King car and the other was a Harraka built car.  Although I don't remember them having "King Chevrolet" on them, I am pretty sure that they were all from the same racing team.
