Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

Thx for posting!

+1,  yes, saw this video a couple of days ago, great seeing Ken Miles son Peter driving "the Turd".  ;D Very good narration by Pete Brock and Peter Klutt.

Thanks for posting.
I'm pretty sure that I saw the "flip top" car at LMC back in 2022... but that part of the collection was a strict no-photo zone. I wish that I had known a little more about it at that time. Wow  8) 🏁
