The Oregon Plating Special was one of a small number of new cars built by grant King Racing for the 1974 season. The car was built from two previously crashed chassis and its handling was a problem from the beginning, causing it to end the night in the wall as often as not. It was stored for more years than it was raced, and was changes a number of times by a host of owners. At one time it was a successful USAC Super Modified, and it qualified for the 1986 Phoenix Copper World Classic. The current owners, Tom Hanna and Marvin Price, bought the car - again in storage - in 2000 and it took about 2.5 years to restore it to racing condition.
