didn't he live around Carlsbad, NM? I think I remember seeing a red nova in that time frame.

Retribution 11, red but may not be a '63 or had later trim added?

Note the black R1 car isn't altered like the red R2 car, same car modified later or a totally different car built?
Too cool Brent but not being altered probably more chance of being the R1 car or one like it, how's things look for Thomas parts?

Awesom pics... I guess all them suspension mods did not help too much on them bumper rubbing wheelies !

I am surprised the Ebay ad has not been pulled yet due to the DH reference...

Is the red altered pics perhaps actually earlier and the car that was wrecked?
If so the black car could be the one built w/ the parts and used until the new '66 car was ready?
Whichever one was first is it true it was it built from the Bad Bascom car?
Noting the side trim and wheelbases it appears there may be even 3 cars in the pics, the car w/ DH on the quarters the closest match to the eBay car?
If the black side trim car was built using the wrecked cars parts the shot w/ DH on the 1/4's could be later w/ side trim removed?
Waaay cool if something solid about the eBay car tied them together but no matter what would probably never be enough for today's Harrell group?
RIP DH.
