The car was built by Dave McPherson of Bellefontaine, Ohio.

He built several cars in the early to mid seventies but I'm not sure how many.

They were nice cars but were rather generic for their time period and didn't have any outstanding design features the would set them apart from any other car of the period visually.

Two of the cars he built that stand out in my mind are the car that Sammie Sessions drove for Mauri Amerling in USAC in 1976 and the car that Doc Dawson drove for Mac Klingan. Doc was killed in that car at the Springfield mile in 1976 in one of the nastiest crashes I've ever seen.

That's all I can come up with at this point.
