I believe that Mirada used to belong to the Leopold family out of Pa. Father and son team.

Wes Leopold, I believe the car had 'Daddys Toy' written on it. That Mirada was a preproduction, hand built at Chrysler. It has Cordoba fenders too.

It's funny these cars stay racing for so long in different areas and no one forgets the lineage
