I'm not familiar with the total race history of this car, but this was part of the platform the car was presented with over and over--------------On National TV??---Hell of a place to start making things up....

Was digging through some junk today and found this... pretty cool ad.

I hope the new owner takes it back to the appearance of its glory days...

https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif AD---One of the commentators-Steve M. stated that one of the big 3 , maybe Chrysler, had actually put together a special car to try and take the ALLEN LS-6 out---Like a hired gun--I thought that was pretty https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif..

I thought there was a Superbird that was done but the match never happened

Re: Briggs Chevelle Sells for $1,150,000
 

I'm thinking it was one of the winged cars...the race never happened. There's a post on here somewhere about that...I'll see if I can find it.

Chrysler built two winged cheater cars to beat the allen car and they still lost.

The "Killer Car" as it was called is shown on the line in 1970 at the first annual "Supernationals"
at the Ontario Motor Speedway in Ontario Calif. This was the first time NHRA drag racing was televised live
on "ABC Wide World of Sports."
Ray Allen killed the competition here as well with a Super Stock victory at this last race of the 1970 season.
Allen also lowered his own 11.55 ET record to 11.33 ET on the final winning pass. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/headbang.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/flag.gif
