This car has not [/b]had its original motor since a few months after delivery. Willard had it towed in to Belmont on a chain with lettering still on the windows from flogging it at Cayuga Dragway. There were windows in the block too, from rods coming through. We said no way for warranty Willard. So he ordered up a replacement. The car was used hard for as long as Willard had it. Another thing, if it went 11s at Indy, it must have been dropped from an airplane. Where do the claimed numbers on these cars come from???"

So now are you saying there are two copo's that windowed their blocks ? You were pretty adamant about how Willard continued to use it hard for as long as he owned it. You speak that as if you knew Willard. Are you sure the car at auction is the one Willard owned ? Now I'm getting really confused.
