The first owner was Jim Miller out of St. Louis. It was called King Dart. The second owner was Ken Broadaway also from the St. Louis area. This info is on one of the old titles I have. It was rumored to have been ran as a early Pro Stock car. Feb.1972 Harry Prososki from Nebraska brought the car and is known as Spider.Harry owned the car for 20 years. There was a picture of the car in the 1980 Direct Connection Catalog wearing 69 tail lights. Harry sold the car to Toli Polewik in Iowa, who sold the car to Ray Barton. Barton was building the car for John McGill who owned the Checker Drive ins out of Alabama. Bucky painted the checker paint for the drive in. I was told that McGill never picked up the car and then was sold to Jim Whipple who was out of Michigan. Jim Pancake got the car next and I bought the car from Jim in December of 2005, who I have known for a long time. The car is the 13th one built and it came with a certicard. Today the car has a 11:5 motor in it with mufflers and has been seen on the streets.
