He drove competitively until retiring in 1977. He succeeded Bob Daniels as NHRA Division 3 Competition Director until 1996. Keith Ferrell passed at age 74 in 2016.

As for those pictures of the car, the one with the Cragar Mags and the Malco sponsorship was taken in 1968 at Englishtown. I believe it was the most recent of the 5. The last picture was taken at IRP in Brownsburg Indiana, the other 3 locations are unknown.
