Unfortunately, the car didn't have a good end....

Check out #1603 on Provamo

Another Cool Article about the Car's Racing History

From ProvaMo:

"Hugh Kleinpeter of Georgia comprehensively enhanced this car for racing.

Later sold to Vic Manuelli of California. While racing at Riverside in 1983, driver Jim Harris was killed.

The car was completely rebuilt and raced again thru the mid 1980's. Then it was sold to the next owner in Georgia and later extensively fire damaged.

In March of 2006 the damaged car was offered for sale on eBay for around $35,000, but it didn't sell in a couple of auctions. These photos below are from the listing and from the seller."

Here's what it looked like in 2009...
