I believe the lead car in this photo from the 1966 NHRA Winternationals is Pinky's convertible.
| Interesting facts | |
|---|---|
| Pinky bought it in 1976: | for $125 ( I still have the cancelled check ) |
| Restomodded in 1980: | only driven 10,000 miles since 1980 |
| Front brakes converted to later model disc: | done in 1980 - maybe the first to ever do one? |
| Pinky is my Dad: | He died in Sept '09 @ 61 years of age ( way to young ) |
| TTI Performance Exhaust : | This car was used to prototype TTI's B-Body exhaust system |
| American Racing S200: | These wheels have been on the car since 1979 |

Nice to see such documented history. Sad to see the owner wasn't able to enjoy it into his late life.
