I met Cecil Petty in Early 1980 at Green Valley when he was testing his car. We became friend and racing buddies until he died in 2006. Cecil told me he bought the car from the Grandfather of someone who worked for him. When he got it he had Joe Smith install the Cage, ladder bar w/floater rear and tub the car. Jim Hale built the engine and Cecil accumulate enough points to go to the World Finals in Ontario Ca. Cecil drove the car and I worked on it until 1986 when he stopped driving. I drove the car in 1987 – 1989 when he sold the car to Fred Englehart. The last I heard about the car was when Norm Brady called me about it. Cecil’s number was 4532 and mine was 4533.
The car was an original 990, it had a graphic of a Elephant chasing a Mouse on the rear quarters and SS/CA 4532 on the doors. There were no holes in the fenders, the passenger door glass was not the original lite glass. The car was not a Show Queen just a well worn race car
