My friend that knew the first owner said the clutch blew up in 1967 at New England Dragway and it damaged the sub frame. He said the driver shifted from second back into first instead of third gear. I am still waiting for the photos from him.

I just got a couple of photos from Ralph Spears. This first photo shows Ralph's friend Richard Ingals. Richard drove the car at the drag strip for original owner Warren Heaps, and also worked on it too. The second photo shows all the trophies that the car won at New England Dragway when the car was new.
