I found a little more history on #14 PLUM CRAZY from Ohio that could have become CLIMAX, here is a pic from a 1974 Lake St Clair race program.

Skip had Short Circuit here on Lake St Clair for 30 + years till he sold her a few years ago. I believe her to be a 1975 or 76 Mag, here is a better pic of her.

If memory serves me i think Climax had purple striped bolsters in it.
