IIRC he wrecked the 71 Roadrunner and then built the 71 Cuda. The Cuda was wrecked at a KOS race at VMP. Last I heard he was rebuilding the Roadrunner.

Man that road runner ran good. There was another car running KOS I haven't heard of in some time. It was a yellow 69 bee. I think the guy's name was Rob Sylvester possibly.
Restoring a car to look "only" as good as the factory made it is like getting a boob job for your wife and having the doctor make them two different sizes to seem more natural

The RR had a nitroused, INDY head combo. Don't recall how big. I think 8.80s was about as fast as the RR ever went, but don't hold me to that. Bill went to B-1s in later years and then the smallblocks, but I think the Avenger was the first car for either of those combos to be run in. I am sure Leon and Andy remember some of the particulars here as well.
