This is a neat story. Can't wait to see the car, talk to the owner, find out about its past and future plans. Until cars surface, most facts about them are not completely known unless one of the actual principles, like the driver or owner is around to bring the story to the surface.

The new owner doesn't want to be known yet until the car makes its first show. I just know he got a lot of original photos of the car with Kirby and Harrell together at different events. Plus he has copies of original film fotage of the car running down the track that Kirbys wife put on VHS from 8mm tapes. It is so exciting to see all this stuff coming out of the woodwork. Kirby also gave him his original race suit and gas mask that he used back in the 70's. I am trying to post pics of the car but I am having some trouble uploading them. Mark
