Another comment:

Marty had the Stocker 71 GTO. (That was his wife's car)
Marty had a Second GTO that was a tilt front end conventional frame front and back half small steel tube car that he ran as a naturally aspirated car.

Marty, Jeff Covey and Tom Earhart did the 70 Chassis car which was built from a sheet metal 70 car (marty's uncle found for him in the south west that was rust free basically.
That car was a chassis "Door Car" that over time received more and more carbon fiber parts: Front end, Hood, Doors, etc but the rear half of the car remained steel.

That car had a "Tin" interior initially.

Then when Marty moved to arizona the modded the Covey chassis even more on the front and back half of the car. Center of the car/cage remained except where mods were required for tech reasons. That is what Chief basically bought The steel rear half and the center cage of the car and I was told modded from there.

Tom V.

ps Marty's Body Guy bought the tilt front end GTO and later He and Marty did a street Twin Turbo deal for that car. DIFFERENT CAR vs the "judge"
