If I remember correctly he had a Fairmont SM after the Maverick. One of my favorite cars at the time (1980).

Wasn't he the last NHRA Modified World Champion with the car in 1981 before NHRA dumped the eliminator?

That's correct, Mike was the last Modified Eliminator World Champ in '81 and was and is a heck of a racer and an even nicer and genuine guy.

Last time I talked to Mike about it, the son of a guy from Ford owned it. Don't remember his name. Probably 6 or 7 years ago. Don't think it was being raced.

I think that you are thinking of the Fairmonts of either Ron Baker (green B/SM sedan), or Don Bowles(Yellow A/SM Futura). I believe that Mike edwards won the 1980 championship with the Maverick.
And I gotta agree, Modified Production had to be one of the coolest classes ever to watch.
