I think, I still have the title and tags some where, but have to do some digging. Dragway 42 was a neat place about a hour from me! I think history of these kind of cars are cool. Many of the gtos around here, were rusted beyond repair, or raced and wrecked. I think race cars that survived like this one (if it did) and the stories behind them is American history at its best!

Hi, If you can dig those titles or tags up out of your stash, the VINs could be PHS'ed to find out more about them, and if you still have the fenders,etc from either of them, the thickness of the metal could be checked, to see if they are thinner gauge than general "stock" sheetmetal. which these "engineering" cars were suppose to have a certain amount of thinner steel body panels, AKA "Factory Lightweights" also probably were "No option" cars (radio/heater delete, etc) it may not be the case, but that's how Merle Green found out what his Knafel 66 GTO was, thru PHS. as that 65 car in the pic may have ended up on Knafel used car lot.
