Fubar Special -- 2
Dave Dunbar Jr, the son of the "Fubar's"
original driver, has restored the car. Website visitor "Tom P" attended
"Hot
August Nights" in Reno, NV, July 31- August 8, 2004 and took these
photos of the "Fubar" as it looks today. Buick powered "back in the
day", the car now has a 302 Ford in it with a T5 5 speed.

In this configuration the old "Fubar"
is a very cool "hot rod" with its big running boards & giant vintage-appearing
headlights. |
 |
The Fubar was a fun car to watch,
loud, crude, not among the leaders, but as entertaining as can be.
I'm glad to see that it survived and
is still "in the family" with the Dunbars. |
Dash plaques document the "Fubar's"
extensive racing history.
The Santa Barbara plaque is from the
Sept. 2-3, 1961 event where I took my photo of the car. |
