Eddie did show me years ago that the rear wheel openings were patched back in stock.It didn't look to be radically altered like the AF/X were.

I often wondered whose car Billy had. I never put two and two together even after seeing the Butler bars. I always thought it was a Barnett built car. Billy ran a few different paint jobs on that car as well.

Bob,

Just to put a time line on it, did Diehl have the Butler built car before or after Bagwell?

We watched Bill race in the mid and late 70s,rumor was it was one of Steve Bagwells cars.It did have a variety of paint schemes.It was definately a Butler built chassis.

Same car?

That looks like it could be BG standing behind the car in the blue shirt.

I know the Bagwell Red car and the Leal 65 A990 from the 70's is the same car, but is the Bagwell Blue car the same?

Shirl Greer's A-990 Coronet did not retain its factory built sheetmetal for very long.

This is how it looked towards the end of the 1966 racing season.
