    Thanks to the huge efforts of a certain person, I am proud, happy and thrilled to announce that at the 2009 MCG GATHERING in Joplin, MO. we will have a very special appearance by....................

    Danny Miller and the Plastic Fantastic :clap:

    Danny will be with the car on display during show day. He will be there to put on a TECH seminar; you will be able to purchase T-shirts/ hero cards etc. He will also bring REAR GEAR decals and ad materials. Ask Danny all the questions you want :D and take photo's of what, in many opinions, is the baddest maverick on the planet!

    Here is a link to his website......

    Again, thanks to the person who made this happen :bowdown:

    I got to see him run at Cordova this summer!

    Does he own the original Plastic Fantastic, with the Boss motor, or does some collector have it?

    I found my answer, thanks to Allen's link:

    1970 Alcohol Funny Car "Plastic Fantastic" [​IMG][​IMG]

    Currently residing in Maine as a permanent part of our collection at Muscle Cars LTD., is the early '70's Maverick of ex-Midwest flopper racer, Danny Miller. We recently purchased the car in Tennessee after losing out on a deal to purchase the car in the mid 90's. The car is powered by an alcohol injected Boss 429 Stroked to 494 cubic inches and hooked to a Powerglide with an 8 3/4 Chrysler Rear. We intend to race and show it at some Nostalgia events this year, and put a supercharger back on before season's end.
