Wow this is the first and only Olds altered wheelbase I can remember seeing. Anybody got any more?

Nice find ts3x65mph

 

There were two of them.The red car was wiped out in a towing accident,I think in '66.The Black car is from '67. Dennis Doubleday

 

hmmm, I had heard it was the same car with upgraded lights on both ends? Lutz and Lunburg ran out of the MN area. Only AWB olds I know of. They did run Olds power though, not a 394 but the 'modern' Olds like the Terrifying Tornado and Hairy Olds did.
