Same car .
I believe Ron bought it from Jack , after that I don't know I till Johnny got it.
Dave Ley may know more of its history in between.

So you remember this above convertible Troxell built? I think Dick Griffin bought the wagon and this car above off Troxell at Indy. Also got the flat top wagon off him?

Yeah that makes sense. Ron also got Paul Mayo's white W-30 convertible.

Here is a different Troxell SX convertible as if SX convertibles grew on trees.

I remember all of them , used to go to the shop every night to work on them.
That picture of the flat roof wagon was taken right down the street from my current shop .it's the front of a Junior High School , Jack drove the car down the road from his house for it .
Same road that all the cars got tested on !

Re: Best Oldsmobile Super Stock Of All Time?
 
Good info. You got anymore pictures? Here is another shot of the wagon. Raced briefly by Dick Griffin before Paul Mayo took over. Vista still exist I hear. The dark colored Troxell convertible was painted white (not the same car as 76 Gatornationals) and converted to a 72 and raced as Supremacy by Al Seger before he went to the flat top wagon. Flat top wagon owned by Keith Curry now. Convertible was destroyed in a wreck in the mid 80s resulting in a fatality.

Well I emailed these to Jack and his son about a year ago. His son contacted me trying to put a photo thing together for his birthday. I think his birthday is in December. I sent him all (none of which I own) the pictures I had and then at his son's behest I called Jack and got his email. Talked to him some on the phone. He thought I was from a magazine. I told him I'm nobody.

The National Record certificates and class win trophies from these cars covered the walls of his shop.
The coupe is now the late Johnny Williams' Cajun Nightmare car.
