Almost everybody knows that the original seller ,Uzerowski in Varysburg NY stole the "Maggot" a Lark partially ready to race and maybe a Hudson
that won a National all for 2000$. That price alone was criminal as the buyer immediately put the " Maggot" up for sale for 10,000$. As Peter is dead I've dropped the criminal pursuit in the situation. Hoping Vintagestich
loves that car as much as Peter did. Carr

The history of our sport takes on personal value when the subject is someone we love. This car and its original owner are part of drag racing folklore.
It appears it has found a wonderful home.
No thanks necessary.
Its an honor to help bring the story back to life.
