Yes, Artie. The car was/is owned by Ted Struse, who now lives in Colorado, if I'm not mistaken. It was campained by Mike Smith and Terry Walsh.

Artie -- Spoke with Terry Welsh last week and it is the car ( SuperStock Magazine 's Project Six Pack ) that the late Mike Smith drove -- very restored and looks just like it did in 1974 .Terry has been invited by the current owners to be "with" the car when its being sold at this years Barrett-Jackson auction in Phoenix .

BTW ,my first big NHRA win came against this car - Englishtown Winston World Championship Series race in 1974 .Wouldn't you know it -- its' the one picture I don't have .....................

Was this the car that was given away in a subscription sales contest by the magazine?
