OK....It appears that it didnt exist at all. The street racer story was just a story from long ago it seems and Simon's car was a 289. But WHAT does my friend Jim have? Its a 1967 Convertable. It was a 4-speed car and is in rough shape without an engine and a trans. It has a 9 inch rear and I just looked at the vin again this morning along with the title. It looks like an "R" on the vin with some rust and a lot of black paint over it (we sanded on it) and the title has an "R" matching the vin. What does he have? If they never made it then its possible that someone screwed around with the tile and vin during a transfer many years ago. Either way its still going to be a driver and not a collectable. If it turns out like his T-Birds it will be beautiful and a cool ride. If they never made one how did Simon get to race stock when you had to have a car that that the manufacturer have to make back in the day. How did this stuff get in the class guide? What about Richard Charbonneau's E/S 427/410 HP (1 X4) Winternationals winning station wagon back in the 7 inch tire days? One of one or one of none? What about the the wagons currently running today in B/Sand C/S(and with the glass scooped hood that was never avaliable or made on a wagon)??? Didnt NHRA require 50/100/or 500 of the combos to be made back in the early 70's to be eligable for stock?
