Am I seeing things, it looks like the the Roman numeral 11 in the vintage picture only comes up to the height of the t that's next to it. In the more recent photos, the Roman 11 is the same height as the f ? </div></div>

I would say that the car was DEFINATLY repainted or relettered since the early pic. The Roman Number 2 is hard to see,but I think you are correct. The biggie is that on the front fender of the restored car the entire &quot;well&quot; in Hallowell is reduced in size and positioned over the wheel opening while in the vintage pic the W is the same size as the Hallo and there seems to be a slightly wider space and the &quot;ell&quot; is reduced in size over the wheelwell. I wouldnt call that the be-all/end-all of authenticity,but it raises some questions. The guy claims that he bought it and raced it until he put it in a museum 35 years ago. Somebody put a used race car in a museum in the prime of it's useful life,and long before anybody knew it was collectable? He says that he raced the car for years with a different person's name on the side? In the owner's defense though,the paint job is cool IMO and I could see him wanting to keep it if he could have just lightly sanded and buffed the lettering off. I couldnt fault him for that.

I am going to refrain from going off on a tangent until I get more info. I have numerous messages out to some of the key people in the early years of this car including Charlie Kampp himself.

A great situation to come of this was that there was another simuilar car from Hallowell even nif it wasnt named Witchcraft,maybe even a pro-stocker. I dont want to rain on this guys parade,I hope we both have something special,but one thing is for sure,I know that I do!
