It is a really neat car, and worth a trip to go see it, but at this point, simply a show car. The owner considers it a "museum piece", thus will not consider running it, in fact, I am not for sure if he ever fires it.


During the time the Kimball brother's (Larry and Gary) raced it, sometime around 1970, one year this car won more $$ then any other drag car, including top fuel and FCs. Larry has a ton of pics of the car, many from tracks around this area. The car was sold in '71, after Gary was killed in a racing accident. He was standing near the starting line visiting when a car went out of control and hit him. I believe at the old Ozark Racetrack near Springfeild, MO.

In the early '90s, Larry decided to track the car down, buy it and have it restored. The guy who did much of the work on the car is who I bought my Nova from. That is how I first found out about the car.
