Iit was acquired by Ford Engine Engineer Bill Barr, who was an engineer on the 428 Cobra Jet and was Principal Design Engineer on the production Boss 302 engine for Ford Motor Company.

Bill acquired the car in 1971 and stripped it in his home garage in Plymouth Township, Michigan. There, it was converted into a very competitive National level SCCA A/Sedan race car. The car made it's SCCA racing debut at the 1972 Road America June Sprints with Bill at the wheel. Bill raced the car in SCCA National Races at tracks throughout the Midwest, including Road America, Mid Ohio, Michigan International Speedway, Grattan Raceway, Indianapolis Raceway Park and Blackhawk Farms. It was usually a front runner in the A/Sedan class, with a second place finish at Mid Ohio in September 1972. The car was displayed by Bill at the 1972 Ford Engineering Center Summer Employee Event. After being sold by Bill Barr in 1973, the car changed hands several times over the next 2 decades, eventually being found deteriorating next to a garage in Michigan. The car has since been restored. It is currently being brought back to 1972 livery as race by Bill.
