If this guys can show the 1964-1966 Green Monster from Art Arfons, than they
are really good - the car ends after his 620 mph crash in 1966 on a wreck yard
- without the engine.
Some days later Smithsonian called Art and offered him a lot of money for the
wreck - which was too late. May be they will show the 1968 Green Monster -
which was modified used by Slick Gardner, who bought the car from Art, in
seventies, without success, at Bonneville.
Who ever visit the LSR exhibit, let us know what was on the show.
see ya
Pork Pie
By the way, the picture on the Petersen website shows the 1966 version, some
days before the crash.
