excerpt of the auction text:
«The real deal, a piece of history. I won this trophy in May 1963 at a hobby store in Austin, Texas. The car was a # 1544 green t-bird and it was faster than any car I had ever seen. I can still remember that day holding the trophy while riding my bike home. My 1st trophy. After that race this car was placed in my car case and never used again and that was 43 years ago. The trophy is 26" tall and 10" wide and looks great. Just great.»
