As a nineteen year-old I saw the car often as I was local to Motion. It had Webers when I saw it and it was just a raw, brutal, black Cobra looking all business-no shiny play stuff on it. All handmarks and some scuffed edges.

I remember thinking at the time that it seemed like a dull black, sawed-off shotgun -with blood spatters on it. The open turnouts left a raw noise I never forgot-stronger than all the Bowtie 427's and 454's Joel was building at the time.

It's the main reason I later built my car with header flanges and turnouts and ran them open at the track. Sounds the same.
