In the late 70's, I saw Arlen build a couple '76 Feather Dusters. He would switch out the k frame and other front end parts and drop in a 440, or a Hemi. An original F-Duster weighed in just under 3000 lbs, and they were granny, low mile cars. Friend still has his, and was always very competitive. Greg you mentioned, was the good painter from the Akron area that painted Knafel Pontiac cars, I think.
Great story, Thanks!

I met up with Gary and his friend Joe yesterday and had a great time sharing stories. I suggested he share his other passion of drag racing and his car he still races. He was not sure you guys would be interested. I suggested he post on the Supercar reunion link.

There must be more chapters....... edge of my seat.

For example where did the car go? (did I miss that part?)

Hi Ryan,

There was not much excitement in selling the car. I sold it as a roller, the engine and transmission went one way and the car went another. It was a local guy from Youngstown, Ohio that bought the chassis and I heard he had sold it to another guy. Probably about 10 years ago I heard that somewhere along the line, the owner at that time, (I don't have a clue who that would have been) took all the Yenko badging off of the car, repainted it and put Z28 emblems on it. Since I never saw the car again, I really have no idea if that was true or not.

Thanks,
Gary
