Up for sale is the legendary Lead Sled owned and raced by Tom Akin in the 60s and 70s. This car was 1 of 5 Dick Harrell team cars. This car was ordered through Schukei Chevrolet by John Day, the dealer's performance manager. The car was ordered with a rare L72 427/425 option turbo 400 automatic and a 12- bolt rear end some of the other options was the F41 suspension, power steering and power front discs.
