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.

Exclamation Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
A guy named Joe Spinelli from Pennsylvania bought the car about 7-10 years ago and took about 2-3 years to totally restord it to what it looked like when Arlen drove it--- not sure if he still has it --FED387

The Maverick was at the York Muscle Car Madness show this July restored (beautifully and correctly I might add) to its configuration when Arlen won Modified at Indy in '77.
