Canuck,

I have a call in to my friend. I hope to have some of the air cleared by the end of this weekend.

Rusty did u get my PM about Linda's vert.

I talked with my friend and he said that his car is the one that Jim Battle had. His car is the remaining one of the first two. The one that was destroyed was the power antenna. The other car, possible one in the ad, was a late build car, had gold carpet, manual antenna, and the shifter looked like a 4-speed shifter, but was a strange variation of the dual gate. Last known condition was a ripped top and some holes in the floor pan.

Thanks for that info, it resolves the misinformation I had about the car i saw in Lansing in 1987. I spoke with Jim Battle a few years ago and the only time the car was linked to Hurst Engineering was when it was shown in Lansing 1997.

Now the open question is how did the car (with power antennae) shown at the introduction an the Tavern On The Green, get destroyed. I have heard two versions, one fell off a transport truck, but I also heard that was the fate of the 1970 Indy pace car. Version two, damaged at a track accident.

Maybe its still out there somewhere.
