I'm not sure, but it may have ended up in southern Indiana. If you have contacts in the Bloomington/Bedford area that's where I'd start.
You might also see if you can find Bobby Adkins (of Adkins/McQueen race cars), he was the last driver of the car if memory serves me.

Chuck Buzack built a rear engine Chev Indy car, that Orville Yeadon ended up with, and ran as a Sprint car for a while, Orville was famous for his 5 wheeled race cars, 2 snowgrips on a special wheel on the RR. Chuck built that car here in Seymour. Bob

Old age isn't helping me either, but I'm sure someone else has seen it, he did run Paragon a lot, and I saw it several times there. Danny B., you old enough to recollect this set up? Boom Boom, Alan Barr, huggie pole, were something to watch in those days. Bob

No Bob, believe it or not.:2:
But our mutual friend, Mr. Foist, might.
I'm doing good to remember Mr. Yeadon driving a home made supermodified #90, I think.

Don't know what happened to the car was built for Dan Bowlen although he never drove it. We will check with him to see if he has any thoughts on what happened to it.
