What about Tom? You forget that he may be the victim here. He has already said that the car was presented to him as an original DH car. He also said that when he purchased it, the body had already been crudely stripped with a scrapper and the fiberglass was in bad shape. Furthermore, with all the other more likey candidates we've uncovered over the past few days, why is everyone so quick to claim its the Dixie Twister?

Jeff, Thanks for the nice lead in.
I want to first apologize to you and everyone on here for this thing dragging on for so long. but as Charley posted, my distracters have had months to put their “case” together, I have had but a few days. But, now that I have had a little time to search for a few things, I am ready to provide some sound evidence backing up my claims.
Here is the receipt clearly showing that the seller (Mike Menter) was knowing selling me what he thought was a 1967 Dick Harrell funny car chassis and body, and that I was buying what I felt was a 1967 Dick Harrell funny car chassis and body..
I will be the first to admit that this receipt is quite crude, but this transaction was done in haste, sitting in my Suburban at a rural Aamaco gas station.
And I think the amount of money I paid for the car reflects just how certain I was that this was a DH car, when at a time (June of 2000) old racecars, unless associated with a “name” racer, were dime a dozen.
If nothing else, IMHO, this receipt clearly disputes any theory that I simply found an old race car and turned it into one of Dick’s.
