Re: Bill Thomas Race Car's Retribution II getting air
Not sure this fits with this topic, but the comment about Bruce Larsen raised a memory of mine.
Around 1989 (or so???) I was looking for a racecar, and answered an ad in the Madison paper about a 1966 Chevelle drag car. Went to look at it (located just northeast of Hwy 30 off Fair Oaks Ave) and it was awfully rough, but complete and even came with a torn down 427. Guy wanted $2,200, but I didn't have the coin and couldn't sell the parents on it.
Car had the notched windshield and firewall much like a picture of Bruce Larsen's 1966 USA-1 I found years later in an old Hot Rod magazine. It was definately a vintage piece, but I had no idea about what the car might be...
Several years later, I went back looking for the car to get another peak, both it and the owner were long gone.
Does anyone know if this car has ever been found or what happened to it?
