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

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
Joe Spinelli from Philadelphia still owns this car along with Al Joniec's 70 Boss429 Mustang. Joe has a very extensive car collection and his restorations are incredible.

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
I was at Green Valley (Fort Worth) for a points meet that I believe Mike won. Looked to me that he yanked the front tires when he pulled fourth gear(5-speed). This car, as they now say, was "bad fast".

It was great running Modified, with the stick shift cars with hood scoops. I had the honor to run my uncles K/G, (SS/BX, later SS/AX) Opel GT.....

Re: Mike edwards / modified eliminator
Just a couple clarifications.
Arlen built the Maverick from a body-in-white. Took it to Don Hardy in Texas to build it. The car had plenty of trick stuff (for its time). I know, I raced against it enough! FJ |
