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.
