That car is legendary. Everyone, I mean everyone back in the day was aware of it.
From what I know, it was actually a factory backed racer, but titled to Jim Addison to keep the factory out of it, legally. The Detroit Free Press was nebbing around, looking for some kind of "expose'" to reveal the the Big Three messing around with street racing. Hoover tells me that they took great pains to CYOA.
