Last time I talked to Bill Schrewsberry he mentioned that he had one of the cars, It may very well be that car. If so its sitting by his house in the California desert. Total Perf-
Hey Carlos, thought that was BFE where you live! give me a call, I gotta get out of the house and get my hands dirty.
I remember that car running at the drag strip in Proctorville, Ohio, just across the river from Huntington, back in the last half of the '60's. I remember also that the Guston Brothers and the Christan Brothers were regulars at the track but I can't remember all their cars. It was alway's a big deal when they brought The Kentucky Kolonel up from Ashland to do battle with the big hemi's like the Wildcatter and the West Virginia Hemi. We would always be pullin' for that little Merc. to upset one of those big hemi's. I used to help my buddy run the "Pepper Shaker" back in the day at both Proctorville and Winfield. Oh yea' I'm just two miles off I-77 at m.p. 146...

Cool story! I'm going to give dad a ring tomorrow and ask about the Pepper Shaker, he remembers everything I'm sure he has a few good stories. Thanks!
