While looking at Alan Barker's 64 B-Production Sting Ray photos just now, Look what I found: Your "Orange Blossom Special" at Mid America Raceways "MAR - Where the Big Ones Are" near Wentzville, Mo. Probably 1969, going into Turn 1, always a 'Hairy" corner! Thanks for looking, John

I would imagine there were a lot of street versions modified by the owner to look like an R model and raced. I think I have all of these books but they are in storage.

The Revell '26T engine does look like a nice offering.

Isn't that '26 T sedan a reboxed "Lil John" by John Buttera in the mid 70s? Most people have forgotten about that.

Different paint scheme for Danny Moore's Orange Blossom Special. First picture is a black and white I took of the car at Dallas International Motor Speedway, around 1970 or so.
This one was in a Shelby Magazine article. I'm doing one in 1/18 scale, using the Lane GT350R as a donor. Got the custom decal sheet already made.
