Update. The complete history of the car is now known. It was the Chicagoland Chevrolet Dealers Association Pro Stock Car. Built by SRD with an acid dipped Body in White. It was one of the earliest cars they had built. I have been in contact with Pete Hutchinson and have verified it as an SRD car. The car was updated in 1978 by Gary Steward of IHRA Pro Stock fame. He changed it to a 1977. The car has been returned to its 1973 body. An exactly same fiberglass front end and hood have been put on. The rear fiberglass hatch was the original and has been repaired. The car is now back in Corvette Chrome yellow after 42 years. Hopefully next year the car will be ready to race again. It will have a Edelbrock TR1Y intake, Accel cable drive distributor and Lenco transmission like originally used.
