I am very excited for the opportunity to represent this car and be given the chance to show it with pride. Some can speculate as to what car it might be, I will not comment if you are right or wrong. It is the chance of a lifetime IMO. For any that are concerned, I will treat this vehicle with the utmost respect for its value and historic significance. I can't wait till Saturday, and for a good time come support this event at Milan dragway this Saturday. Last edited by wheelsup68dart; 05/20/12 09:39 PM.
