Reported to be Butch Leal's old Colt

Re: colt race cars - 02/11/14 02:14 AM
Do not remember Leal ever in a colt... only arrows?
Agree; thus the reason for kicking off the header with "reported..." Don't recall a colt either.
Here's what the captions said:
1972 Dodge Colt, Al Petrulis, Michigan, originally built for Butch Leal, the "California Flash".
Perhaps there was intent to run a Colt but it never happened?
The one holt built that is now painted Rod Shop Colors? Any pictures?

Does anyone know what happened to the Colts that were built for Eddie and Mike Smith? I think Mike ran one in Comp eliminator.

The latest rendition of "The Rod Shop Colt" as pictured above is a former Eddie Smith car built by John Holt . There is a really cool item about that car , but I will not be the one who tells.

I've always loved this Colt. I wanted to buy it when it was for sale, but did not have the means to purchase it.
Not sure where it ended up. The guys that owned it ended up building a '64 Dodge if I remember correctly.

Another shot. These pics were taken in 1999 or 2000.
