I raced in SS/IA from 75 to 77 with the Hambuger/Auger 340 Duster. To make a long story short I put my little head in the wrong place became a Dad and went to work. Now fast forward 35 yrs later here I am with a race car again. I really would like to race again. I spoke with Dan the morning after buying the car. He had no idea it was being sold at Mecum. He was kind of in shock. I hope to go back to Florida soon to meet with him. I will leave it original and won't sell the car to anyone except back to Dan if I ever do sell it.

Congratulations on your purchase. Hopefully, I'll see you and the car at New England for an All Star race?

I think that it has more to do with selling a race car at a collector car auction. I doubt that the Batmobile would have sold for over 4 million bucks on Racing Junk, or in the National Dragster. Its seems like the druken millionaires at Barrett-Jackson are more inclined to snatch up Max Wedge fakes, tributes, re-creations etc than one that is actually a race car. Bucks Chevelle likely would have sold for triple if Reggie Jackson had signed the trunk lid.
