I remember that car when I was a kid...Art Johnson (Chips dad) and that looks like Cumberland Dragway in Fayetteville N.C. It was a cool little car.

[THE LEGEND]

Reggie it was a cool little car.

This was a 1968 model. My mom and dad bought it new. We road to school in this car a year or too until mom got tired of the decals. LOL
Dad finally bought a trailer early 70's after driving home from Bristol to Greensboro, NC with only 2 gears.
He did win a IHRA race with it in 71 I think and R/U at Warner Robbins national open in the mid 70's. He mainly ran the small local tracks of NC and SC with it, back when stock was run on a weekly basis. He sold the car once but bought it back 2 years later. Finally the gurus at NHRA factored it out of business moving from Z/S to T/S and Dad went bracket racing.
Hav'nt seen the car since 78 last I heard in the mid 80's it was in South Carolina beside a barn. Would love to have it back.
