 Whitfill Special, built by Jerry Whitfill, circa 1970, Saab-powered racer...

Yes it is a Crosley-based sports racer and was built by Jerry Whitfill.
It does have a different name though, not Whitfill Special.

I was inattentive and didn't notice the car name.
Car was known as the “Jubile Special”.
