Ironically enough, yes I am familiar with that car. It was owned by a somewhat heavy set gentleman with a beard. He used to attend a ton of the local cruise-ins & car shows here in Jacksonville.

I also know he was BIG time into auto-crossing the car. I think he did a lot of racing here:

Hope that helps!!
