THIS CAR WAS ORIGINALLY A PENNSYLVANIA SPRINT CAR BUILT IN 1967 BY THE OWNER/DRIVER TED CHERRY. THE CAR WAS RACED UNTIL 1978 WHEN TED RETIRED AND MOVED TO MONTANA WERE THE CAR SAT UNTOUCHED UNTIL 2010. A LOCAL GOLD MINER BOUGHT IT TO RESTORE BUT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT DUE TO ILLNESS. MANY PEOPLE TRIED TO BUY THE CAR INCLUDING MYSELF, EVENTUALLY THE MINER AGREED TO SELL IT TO ME BECAUSE I HAD A SIMLIAR VISION FOR THE CAR THAT HE HAD. IN OCTOBER 2011 I GOT THE CAR AND BEGAN ITS ROVERVERY. ACCORDING TO TED THE CAR HAS 700 HORSE ON ALCOHOL WHICH SEEMS HIGH TO ME BUT WHO AM I TO ARGUE WITH THE GUY THAT BUILT IT. THIS PAST JUNE I RETURNED TO SOUTHERN MONTANA WITH THE CAR IN TOW TO SHOW IT TO TED ONCE AGAIN. CURRENTLY THE CAR WORKS AS A LOCATION MARKER FOR MUFFLER ALLEY AND DRAWS A HEAD TURN REGULARLY. I HOPE YOU GUYS ENJOY THE PICTURES.
