IMO, the best looking dirt cars ever built were from Grant King. Anybody got pics to share?

Wow!!!!!! What great memories I have of watching those two cars run!!! My favorite race of all-time was the 1974 Hoosier 100 when journeyman Jackie Howerton beat Al Sr and Mario, driving the Viceroy cars, in the Bignotti turbo-offy STP car. You could just about throw a blanket over the three cars at the finish line...
