Re: Project Six Pack @ Barrett-Jackson
Many years ago when Ted Struse moved to Colorado he introduced himself to me and eventually I ended up helping him with the altitude tuning of Project Six-Pack. I am not sure I really helped a lot because I was still learning back then. Ted was great to work with and I was honored that he did a SS & DI article on my 6-pack car in '85 or '86. Later he changed Project Six Pack to an ET car and went with a big bracket motor, big tires and all. To the best of my knowledge the first time it sold @ B-J Scottsdale it had been returned it's original vintage condition. It appeared to still be in that condition.
Sadly Ted was stricken with Parkinsons disease and the last I heard from him was a few years ago and he was working on a '63 dodge ET car. True to form Ted had big plans for it and was determined to not let disease interfere. I have not been in touch with Ted since and I hope he is doing well.
It is a great car with terrific history. I am glad it was returned to the original condition and I hope it stays that way. No doubt - that is the best way for it to retain it's value.
