That car was traded within a year for the red white & blue Cuda, which was Ronald Lyles' Pro stock car. That car was the first Sox&Martin pro stock Cuda that Ronnie won a bunch of races in, then they built a new car in '71 and sold the original '70 car to Lyles.

If I recall correctly, Shay Nichols first ran an original ZL-1 Camaro in Pro Stock, followed by a Challenger, and then the Duster. She and Shirley Shahan were among several women in Pro Stock in the early '70's but Shay was likely the most active female driver. There was a feature on the Duster in DRUSA or SS&DI back in the day.
