Yes, he bought this car new at Boose Chevrolet in Brookeville OH. It sat in his garage for many years before he took it to Terry Davis to have it restored. I believe they surprised him at the show with the car. He didn't know it was finished and they unveiled it to him there. I believe this car still has it's original drivetrain as well.

This is a true XS code factory built car. There was a copy of the PHS documents with the car. I believe there were around 110 of these cars produced in '66 and this is 1 of 5 that are known.

----I am curious about the black air-cleaner lids? I have never seen a set. Were they part of th RA package? I had a true RA package convert years ago (like 1975 or so) and the lids were chrome, but the car had over 100,000 miles and someone easily could have changed them!....Bill S

This shows how many engines were built. I bet the number of GTOs equipped with the engine was more than 110, though it's unknown.

My favorite Mopar of all time since I first saw it in June 1986 issue of Guide To Muscle Cars. I still have the picture of it from the article I taped to my bedroom wall when I was 14, but its out on the wall in my garage now 35 years later. This was the first time I had ever seen the car in person so I took several pictures of it myself but none of them are as good as Myron's. As others have said thanks for doing this for us all and adding the comments to make this such a great thread Myron.

These pictures are from the '19 Super Chevy Show at Route 66 Dragway in Joliet IL. This was the last Super Chevy Show I went to and the last time I was at Route 66. I hadn't been there in 10 years and from what I've heard both the dragstrip and speedway are being sold and torn down. Anyway this event wasn't very well attended. There were maybe 100 show cars and not many more race cars. It was nothing like the events from '98 to '09. This 38 Chevy pickup won the Best Early Chevy award. It was owned by J. Wicencyjusz.

This car has been a race car most of it's life. It was raced as a gasser in the 60's and early 70's. The first time I saw it was at the Super Chevy Sunday in Indy in the early 80's. By that time it had a full tube frame and was powered by an injected big block on nitrous and ran in the 8's. It was updated to the current configuration in '07 or so.

Baby Moons would be if you didn't order wheel covers or Rallye Wheels. You had two different styles of wheel covers you could order:
RPO P01: Bright Metal Wheel Covers $26.35

RPO P02: Special Wheel Covers $79.00
