The most current story is that the car that was sold to Roger Sylvesty Was the 1970 orange camaro,it fell off a trailer,then the damaged carcas sat outside a gas station for years in the late 70's while it rusted badly and was finally crushed.

Wasn't that the Harrell car?

Not sure. Did Heavy have two '70 Camaros? I read somewhere that he had bought one from Dick Harrell, and another he bought after it was driven by Butch Leal... Same car perhaps?

As far as I know there was only one 70 camaro,and as far as I know it was the Harrell car.There is a story around the Butch Leal car,but it involves it being sold to somebody who basically just changed the name on the door and kept the same paint job.I cant think of who that was but I dont think it had anything to do with Heavy.

O.K. so I figured it out.It seems that Dick Harrell bought Butch Leal's car and raced it for a while before selling it to Heavy and that means that all the cars in question were the same car and are destroyed.

Well that's a kick in the balls. I'm sad to hear that.

Ran across these shots of the Brooklyn Heavy car on an English racing site - taken in the paint shop in May 2003. It was then owned by Jan Thoren. No shots of after, or if it was redone.
