Yet another incredible story and outstanding car...thanks so much for sharing!
I was a participant at every Car Craft Street Machine Nationals in Indianapolis (and Springfield IL) from 1978 - 1982, so I undoubtedly saw this car there in 1980.

Cousin Eddie saw the car and drove it after my Dad did the mini restoration in 1980, was quite the smile on his face after that drive as I remember. Unfortunately Cousin Eddie died several years ago.
