I'm not sure how many of them came with Billboards. I believe this is the car the Steve Siegel restored back in the '80's. B. Bartosiewicz had it at the show.
My favorite Mopar of all time since I first saw it in June 1986 issue of Guide To Muscle Cars. I still have the picture of it from the article I taped to my bedroom wall when I was 14, but its out on the wall in my garage now 35 years later. This was the first time I had ever seen the car in person so I took several pictures of it myself but none of them are as good as Myron's. As others have said thanks for doing this for us all and adding the comments to make this such a great thread Myron.

I first saw it in MCR, on the cover. That's when I learned there is something special about '71s (at least when properly equipped).

Here are some pictures from the Super Chevy Show at US131 Dragway in Martin MI in '17. By this time Super Chevy magazine wasn't covering the shows anymore. There were maybe 150 or so show cars at this event and probably that many drag cars as well so the show wasn't nearly as big as it had been in the past. This 55 210 was one of the nicest cars at the show. It was a Street Machine of the Year contender at the Good Guys show in Columbus OH in '17 as well. J. Clifton had this car at the show.

This Candy Molten Orange 63 Chevy II had a supercharged 355 with a 700R4. This car was featured in the March '16 issue of Super Chevy. D. Mullens had this car at the show. Back in the early days of the Super Chevy Show all of the show winners got to make a parade lap down the track. They brought back that tradition at this particular show.
