Mike Pearce recently brought back the Petes Patriot to Cruise Weekend in Kearney Raceway Park this past weekend. He was on his way from Maryland to L.A to attend the Southern California AMC club on July 28th and 29th. Following the trip to L.A. he will be bringing it back to Kearney, NE to put it into the new museum at Cabela`s, they now have a Classic Car Collection. It will be on display for one year there.
Along with the Petes Patriot will be the "Steak Maker" which Steve Mercer owns. If my notes are correct it was the original `68 Petes Patriot.
Below is a page put together from the original pictures I took when Mike first brought it to Kearney in 2002, which he had just finished restoring. On that day the original club members were on hand, including Gene Peterson, and Lou Downing, father of Rob Downing the Co-Crew Chief for Greg Anderson.
