Well, this is about the best recollection of the events that I have heard and pretty accurate too as i remember them. I was the one who almost bought the Rover back from Marty. At the time I had the yellow car. I don't remember why I didn't but I had thought of buying Ron's car and selling mine since mine had no race heritage to speak of.

I still have the original shifter out of the Red car and the wheels that Ron had on it for a short time. The intake manifolds were all done by Diamond at the time. That car at the tail end of 1970 could have qualified for Pro-Stock at a few races, it was running as fast as the bottom 16 cars at some of the Pro-Stock races.
