Steve
I'm really interested to see where this all leads...in the end though, my guess is that it will come down to whose version of the 'truth" you want to believe... Until recently, I always took the "story" of this car portrayed by the 2 or 3 magazine articles I have and Wangers' book for face value... seems as though that was a mistake, as there appear to be more questions about this (these) car(s) than answers.... I'm anxious to see some more responses to this, as like you, I'd really like to know.

Keith

I was just re reading this and looking back to see what I might have missed.

And BAM, the first two pics you posted have TWO Judges in them. One has the Thrust wheels similar to if not the exact car I posted way back up there from the magazine article.

I assume you were well on top of this. So what's the scoop? Is one of those the green car JW talks about?

What's funny is you hear about this Firebird over and over, yet it's not in any of the group photos? I have a 69 Drag Racing that has an article on a 69 Bird RAV that is probably it, I'll re read it later and see. I believe it was a two tone-ish blue car, maybe. Then there was an orange one that everyone goes on about.

I have other photos from what appears to be the same session as Keith, it has a light colored 65 in it. I believe that 65 GTO was in another magazine article with the Warren brothers.

Lots of loop holes in this whole story. The one thing I have heard several times, is there was only one partial pass made, in one car, with one motor.

So now I'm with Dave, did some one make up the rest of the story and figures?

OK.... here are the goods.

With the Leader Engineering lettering, that would make this George's car. Safe assumption.

Obviously this car was in Florida, and had a RAV in at. Hopefully at the same place and time.

JW's Grand Prix and one of the two Judges are now at the same place and time. Proof is in the pic.

Sorry, we were talking about the Judges and I mentioned those 2 different sets of wheels already.

I did not think, for a second, that this discussion was about the Schultz's car and therefore did not include it in my comments concerning RA V the test cars.

So, if I "started something" I apologize and assure everyone that I was only posting those photos for the enjoyment of everyone.

I have met Mr. &amp;. Mrs. "Billy Bobcat" and they are very nice people and good friends.

steved: I was trying to help keep the RA V discussion "lively" and really didn't care for the direction it was steered.

Sheesh.

Thanks to those who "alerted" me about what happened to this thread!

Now back to the RA V topic, I found this Motor Trend June of 69 article on the Trans Am and the 303 RA V Motor, Check it out
