Roy Brizzio recreated the famed Kent Fuller-built car that was campaigned in the early 1960s. It is an accurate replica of the single-engine small-block Chevy that was driven by Jim McLennan and Sammy Hale, who currently drives the Champion Speed Shop Nostalgia twin-engine dragster.

The original car, owned by Ted Gotelli, was campaigned mostly in Northern California at such tracks as Half Moon Bay and Fremont. Known as "the world's fastest Chevy" at the time, it more than held its own against the early Chrysler Hemi-, Oldsmobile-, and Pontiac-powered entries of its era.
