    Don't know if this is the right spot to ask or not. Anyone know anything about the Grizzly Adams sponsored Fueller, circa 1982 ish. A picture maybe? Thanks Murray

    The car was a Swindahl car, belonging to, and driven by Bill Carter, of race car painting fame. Jim Brissette was the crew chief. I watched it run at OCIR in the early '80's. I believe the car was sold to someone in New Zealand.

    Robert, yes I knew it was a Swindhal car, just couldn't remember who drove it originally. It was raced in NZ by Garth Hogan before being shipped to OZ for alky duties. It's hardly done any runs in the last 15 years, may make a good rear engine nostalgia deal? Thanks for the info Murray

    Also, if memory serves me well, it was Jeg Coughlin, Sr's last T/F car. It was one of a few that had a Mag Dana instead of a 9" Ford style rear end.
