Yes and thanks. Your posted link above lead me to the other 1963 Chevrolet truck link
Here https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/doc...olet-Truck.pdf and page 107 illustration for the 1963..."E80" Series

Neat thing about the 1963 link shows many drivetrain, suspension amd model variants available worth a look see.

Another "reverse order" from mfg via Southern Pacific to dealer distribution. And what a beautiful scenic image as a bonus!

Years later it was dug up because of building expansion, and Maurice Petty let Billy West have the body. It had to be taken away and never sold or profited off of.
Billy West died in 2008, but he showed the car to me and relayed the story as I just told it. When I saw it the front frame rails were still intact.
Here is a link to a recent discussion about that car.
Billy's wife still has the car.

And that was not a GTX!

So, appears this is the same (below) Billy West car, yes? I'd forgotten there were 2 Cuda drag cars...

Bonus: Note the GTO in the far lane. Anyone care to ID that car and driver?



Edit: And the other car you mentioned with "King Richard" Petty photo op

Sorry for the repeat used for pulling together the "43 Jr" thread...you guys did recognize the different suspension and body stance setup on each of the two right?

Info on this one was written about the image below:

"This was the car that made Hot Rodders take Volkswagen serious. A '56' Bettle raced by Dan Gurney in 1963 and later by Dean Lowry. It won NHRA National Championship in Street Eliminator and was on the cover of the Oct '66' Rod & Custom. It finished ahead of such famous cars as Mickey Thompson's Challenger 1, Mooneyham & Sharp 34 Ford #554 and Stone-Woods-Cooks & John Mazmanian's Willys drag cars. Hot Rod Magazine issue in January 2008 named the "Top 100 Most Influential Hot Rods of All Time" and the famous EMPI Inch Pincher came in at # 53!

Anyways, I thought it was a cool car hauler too."
