Look at the attachment on my post I did earlier today of the "Kirby car". This is the fabled 68 back up car it is a near twin to Tom's car including the w/b 118 inches. Not 110 as a real 68 camaro. for a point of reference look at the distance from the door line to the front wheel also the position of the rear wheel in relation to the sail panel and I can assure you this car is 118 inch wheel base.
I reality I had occasion to actually measure the wheel base of the 69 car and it was 120 on the left side and 118 on the right side. Understand this was done to give the car more "roll out" in the starting beams. If it is must know info as to how/why I did such a thing I can explain but it is a long story involving suspension tricks and not relevant
to the matter at hand.
The true fate of Dick's 69 car is known to me however I will not disclose that is is only for Valerie to do so if she desires and I dont think she needs to do that.
I also have pics of the 69 car w/date on them taken in summer 2000 but will not post them without her permission.
Its location was known to me as late as summer 2001.
