Richie,thanks for posting the link to Butch's web site..cool pics! That '65' was a NICE car! Probably an A990 Super Stocker. Loren..thanks for the story! Racing without a tach? Maybe Butch didn't need one...changed gears with his "Ear Tach"! Some racers just have the GIFT! Thanks again,Stewart! I remember Chrysler getting out of Pro Stock..because the Hemi's had an UNFAIR advantage..and were whippin' the Brand X boys! From what I can recall,Grumpy was the LOUDEST in the complaint department! God forbid the "Grump" being unhappy!





Regarding the 65, Butch actually had a few I think 3. The 1st was a 990, then a couple of AWBs the 1st was for A/Fx then the 2nd was lightened and modified for match races..
Actually Butch is a very personable guy and loves to talk about the good ole days..
I talked with him for quite a while @ the California Hot Rod Reunion last weekend. If you have any specific questions, you can contact him through the email link on his site..

Just my $0.02..

Got it. Maybe not. This is at 768 x 960. Apparently doing something wrong.

Looks like this may be the same car, but as a regular Super Stocker!

Roy Hill bought the 73-74 Pro car and ran it in NHRA.His other car (the Petty built car)was painted the same way but was a match race and IHRA car.I will dig some pictures up.
