No, it was parked sometime in the fall of 1971. Chuck had just installed new ZL-1 heads. They took the car to Keystone where the driveshaft broke, driveshaft came thru the floor just missing the drivers right arm. When the driveshaft broke the engine overreved, either a valve hit a piston or something else broke, destroying both heads. Chuck had had enough, he parked the car in his yard. I lost track of it around 1972, the last time I saw it was still sitting & rusting in his back yard.
