OK guy's the story gets thicker, I talked again this afternoon with Bill and he was rather open about the car. He said he was with the original owner and a few other buddy's the day the car was picked up. He own's a wrecking yard and has a large group of drag buddies. I asked him about the history of the car again. He said that it "was not" the well know record setting Deb car but a car that was occasionally raced. It was originaly maroon or red but the owner painted it some crappy brown color soon after delivery. He said the block had some number like T0xxxJE, I think it should be a CE, he said it may be. It's stored at his home under the house. Get this, sitting next to it is a 70 Yenko Duece from Arkansas for sale as well. $20k. The Yenko has an automatic with black bench seat. Strips still on car but motor was replaced. He said the car is nice shape.. maybe a few of you likely know this guy already. He said he is very popular. I don't know if thats in a good way or crook way. He seems nice on the phone and is open to questions. He is into all kinds of stuff so he says and has a large variety of HIPO parts and cars.. As for the reserve. If not met he will not take offers, and will not disclose the name of the original owner until the close of the auction. But he said the owner of the DEB speed shop owned the car so I take it that that's the shadowy figure. Anyone think they know the guy. He claims he's someone with a great racing history and will introduce the winner to him upon the close of the auction.
