| Starting life as an MG-TC
with flathead Ford power, the Fubar Special, seen here at Santa Barbara
on Sept. 2-3 1961, provided its owner & driver, Dave Dunbar, with decades
of fun racing.
Dave Dunbar, Jr., has
restored the car.
From racing historian Ron Cummings: "Boy, did we root for
that thing!"
