Apparently the second owner, a colored fellow, bought the car early in life and raced it at Cecil County and other dragstrips in the area...The car has never been registered or driven on the road. It was mostly original when he bought it including the fathom green paint. but he hit a guardrail at some point in the late 70's, possibly 80,s and really converted it into a racecar. He painted the car blue and put a glass nose and backhalved the car..it had a centerline style wheels, lexan windows and a big scoop with the hole in the front. He insisits that it always had the original motor although they put a tunnelram on it.

Hmmm...maybe an old A/MP car? Did he happen to say what class he raced in, or was it just a "generic" racecar? Sammy, you awake? Know anyone from Cecil that goes back a few years? That's down in Macneish's stomping grounds too...maybe he remembers it?
