Arnie The Farmer Beswicks 1961 Winternational Top Stock Eliminator with his autograph dated today on the dashboard.

Market commentary

Even with the stock body the stance of this Poncho (oh, and the mis matched wheels) gives it away instantly as a serious drag racer. The buyer paid serious money for it.
