Thought you guys may enjoy this if you haven't seen it already.  I love watching Jay's Garage videos.

Where can I get one of those little models?

That is awesome!!! I wish that I had one of those also but all I have is the hot wheels version of The Snake and Mongoose from 1969.

Thanks for posting;  i could post for hours(and probably will) about Don Prudhomme as i feel he is one of the most interesting car people around.

In the meantime:

Incidentally, 38 mpg is pretty dang good back then as well as now. i don't doubt it was/is achievable.
