That's an SD car at :52, the same car is at 2:21, before it was painted. It was the original "Tin Indian" (yeah, the first one) which Knafel had converted to a street car. It went through two street owners in the Akron/Pittsburgh area then went to NE PA and went from street back to strip. The A&A coupe at 1:14 was Joe Amato. I'm pretty sure it was the car he drove to a national win and probably fired him up for Top Fuel.

The BEE-ON Video series is a wealth of knowledge and memories of the old strips and cars. Jim Amos, the owner, is someone who does it for the love of it. Lord knows he doesn't make a lot of money at it.
