Craig Anacker,a classmate and neighbor had one in Woodland Hills,Calif.
British Racing Green.He maintained it meticulously.It was exquisite.
It's my favorite as well.
There's a photo of its development model in Cal Tech's GALCIT wind tunnel with lamp black smears,driven by the airstream.The flow looked good.
Probably around Cd 0.50 back then.With its small frontal area and small-block power,a nice screamer!
