Supposedly there was 50 cars built but GM recalled all of them and scrapped them out...The only one that was documented for sure was a 250 HP engined car that ended up being either THE pace car at Indy 500 in 1988 or so and/or one that was a pace car for either the Champ Car/Indy car series or the pace car on the road racing circuit Imsa/SCCA etc.

FED,

That's interesting, that they only made fifty of them. Protoypes seldom end up in Texas junkyards, though, so I'm thinking that what my friend saw, was an aftermarket kit that for whatevrer reaosn (can you say "detonation"???) didn't work out, and ended up on the scrap heap.

Thanks for the input!!! I appreciate it.
