I understand he won either his class or SS eliminator at Indy then promptly sold the car to focus on the AWB car....Flying Carpet.

Jim, I'm not sure but it looks like the '65 A990 sedan was slowly converted to an injected A/FX...looks like he sold it to someone else, while he built his '65 A/FX AWB hardtop.

Harrop's car was sold to a guy named Mike Hammer from New Jersey, who was a sales manager for a Pontiac dealer. He ran the car with little success for a year or two and then it disappeared. I remember Harrop was booked in to Englishtown for a match race using his current car, broke it and borrowed his original car back from Mike to run the race.
He put his injectors and tires on it and picked it up a full second.
I think that's when Mike decided to sell it.
