this is the 1971 sedan coach that was pulled from a garage fire that destroyed the 1970 coupe and another frame and a lot of equipment on the grounds of the Pleasant Hill golf course.

On the right side C pillar was a cartoon of a building with flames shooting out the door and windows with the painted name "The Barn Burner". It won 6 times at Reading and Penn National in 1971, was barrel rolled coming to the winning checkers at Reading one night, put back together and started the 1972 season in a red white and blue 57 livery. It was worn out and Kenny brought out a new sedan coach around May, won 14 features around the northeast, including Labor Day at Syracuse.

As a 11 year old enjoying my second season as a fan at the Fairgrounds, this was and is my favorite dirt modified of all time. I've nerded out over this car so much, I built it as a 3D cad model and created this poster from some screen shots.

 

Thanks for posting this pic, I had never seen it, and I've seen most of them!!
