It has held fastest time (King of the beach) off and on over the years.

Wow Mart....Thanks a bunch for that update! I remember reading years back that the car was so "cool and accepted" at the high school where Dean attended, that the car had it's own, designated parking space in a prestigious location in the school's parking lot. For anyone interested, there is a link BELOW with dozens of photos covering the car's iconic history, including quite a few more-current photos with Steve Hill. Coop
