In the early eighties, now a street car, the second owner would occasionally park it outside the parts dept. at the other Chevy dealership in town where I was at the time. Where is it now, Washington state??
A couple years ago Auto World produced a 1/64 scale of it.
John Day who did the wrenching on the Lead Sled is still racing his alcohol injected SBC dragster at age 80.
