A-Bodies...Big Motors / New Hemi Duster - FINAL ASSEMBLY

I am in Ohio now. I went through Cleveland and to the African Safari in Port Clinton. Then I took 4 South to Columbus. On the trip, the coolest thing I have seen was an old Max Wedge car with a roll cage, sitting on the front lawn of a house. It had "White Lightning" faded on the side.
Was this an actual drag car or a back yard racer?
