Didn't you purchase that in late '96?
Linda and met in the Final of the '96 MOPAR Pacific Nationals at the old Vegas track. I still have the winner trophy on the mantle.

Steve Wann put the car at #1 in qualifying....Steve drives nothing but wicked fast stuff even if it's pink.

Steve has it in F/SA this weekend. I believe it's a natural E car.

Hearing the name Sante Grossi, rings a bell now. I do remember reading or hearing that he purchased it from Linda not long after the Vegas race.

If I remember correctly, it was originally run as a '70 Challenger T/A with a 6-pack. Whoever had it when they converted it to a '71 with a TQ found that it was faster in that configuration.

Me? No, not me. Sante Grossi purchased it about 10-12 years ago.

Here's a picture of it when Greg Luneack drove it at the finals last year. Steve Wann freshened the motor before this race:
