Yep...same car! Jim King is who I got into Devonshire Downs. He showed me the ad for the car..from the LA Times (I think). It was a very vague ad. Jim was a really nice guy. We cruised both big blocks around Devonshire Downs that weekend. Those were some fun times. I think Bob Ashton found me the Super Chevy magazine a few years ago

Fred Koenig from Pavilions owned it later on. I will find some pics when we get home

Here's an interesting period photo of WET 283 taken sometime between 1980-82 at a friend's house. Note in the photo it wore rallys.

Did anyone get any photos of the 61-63 Tempests? I noticed in a few different videos on YouTube there were several of them there, but they weren't really focused on as much as the high-performance cars.
