    When the NHRA first started the B/Super Modified Class they got all the Mag publishers to build a race car!
    All but one built Z28 Camaros! Super Stock mag built a 1970 maverick with a Boss 302 engine ! The car was driven buy Arlen Fadley and it was the winner of the Class! The last I herd of the car was someone on the boss 302 forum had it and was doing a restore. H as any body seen or herd of the car lately?

    Yes, Joe Spinelli owns the car and did a complete restoration on the car, and it looks as good if not better than when it built. brings it to the york 30 dragstrip reunion every year ArlensMaverickwheelstand.jpg arlen.jpg

    Yes, in fact I took a picture of the car at Carlisle when it debuted a couple years ago, and I had Mike Edwards sign the picture at the Summernationals at Englishtown
