disappointment.
Blane Eubank’s cousin, Dwight Eu-
bank, swooped in when the car landed
back on a dealership lot in 1972 — this
time on the Texas panhandle — and
bought it for himself. According to
Blane, Dwight street drove the car for a
bit before taking it to the track.
“He drove it just for the ¿ rst couple
of years, and then he was always inter-
ested in drag racing and he drag raced
it at Amarillo and just different places
around,” Blane recalled.
Blane was enamored with the car
himself and kept track of it all through
the 1970s and into the 1980s, when
Dwight blew the motor and parked it.
“I think he just ran out of moneyand
he started having kids and stuffandit
got put aside and he just never gotback
to the car,” Blane said.

didn’t lose its luster to Blane, whohad
taken a shine to the car way backwhen
his cousin bought it. Knowing theBoss

his.
“I started calling him sometime in
the late 1980s and was just pretty persis-
tent and called him for several, several
years,” Blane said. “He told me thecar
would never be for sale. But I wouldcallAside from the headliner, the interior is completely original to this car, including
the Vermilion Red seats and door panels and the black instrument panel.
The original drivetrain had been removed when the engine blew around 30,000
miles, but it was rebuildable and all of the accessories were put back in place.
