Butch asked me to post this for him. Here is a link to his original thread but with the title I thought it may get passed over so I am starting a new thread for him.

These pictures tell more of the story of the car. This picture is Alan May which is the first owner winning the 1962 Winter Nationals. The 409 engine the car came out with blew up but Alan did set some records with it. Glen Volz of the Salem Speed shop then built a 348 and Alan won E/S at the Winters. Glen is the fellow that wrote the letter to GM stating it was for racing purposes so Alan could order the car. Butch
