<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Rixls6</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have a lead on who "Cowboy" was. Apparently he bought the car in the late 70's and has passed away now.
The same guy that gave me that lead knows the guy that Cowboy bought it from, and will be talking with him soon. I don't know if he will be the original owner or not, but it still will help get me closer to finding the early history of this car. Also it is believed that that guy will have old pics of the car. I sure hope so. Stay tuned. </div></div> Great news Rick....... Kurt

Little by little a story is emerging from a guy that knew one of the long-time owners of this car, "Cowboy".
Here is one of the tidbits he recently told me. <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I was there when he was painting the car the color is now, cowboy painted it him self in a two car garage off John R and Oakland in Detroit. He cut the hood and had a dual snorkel air cleaner on it with hoses running down to the headlights. He used to call it the robot from the show lost in space because when it was running the motor would shake and it looked like when the robot would say "Danger, Danger" he used to joke and say that the car was telling all of us other racers danger was coming. LOL </div></div> |

Man am I depressed. I looked at this car a few years ago when I was looking for a cheap drag car. I was so intent on finding a drag car I didn't pay much attention to what the car actually was. It's been on the Michigan craigslist for a while this time. Good catch guys. For you guys to realize what it was from pics and I didn't catch it in person means I need to pay more attention. Good luck with it!!
