I was amazed at that car. A jeweler I did work for in Knoxville, Iowa (We
made the Knoxville National Sprint Car Championship rings 8 years in a row
for him) had one is his garage with only a few thousand miles on it. I never
saw it, but he talked about it a lot. This is the first time I had seen one.
Amazing car.
