From reading the ad, It had an aluminum front end at one time, it was no longer on the car though. It is an incredible story. As a Pontiac guy myself, this is one of the rarest cars you can find. Super Duty Le Mans coupes · Shipped to Ray Nichels Engineering, Merrillville, Illinois. Driven by Paul Goldsmith to a win in the 1963 Daytona 250-mile Challenge Cup. Documented as destroyed. · Shipped to Stan Long Pontiac, Detroit, Michigan. Driven by Stan Antlocer. Whereabouts unknown, though front clip has been recovered. · Shipped to Superior Pontiac, San Antonio, Texas. Whereabouts unknown. · Shipped to Mickey Thompson. Campaigned as the No. 749 A/FX car and driven by Bill Shrewsberry and Bob Spar. Fate unknown. · Shipped to Mickey Thompson. Campaigned as the No. 756 A/FX car and driven by Jess Tyree; later sold to Arnie Beswick and campaigned as the Little B's Runabout before Beswick converted it into the Tameless Tiger Funny Car. Destroyed in a racing accident, but later restored. · Shipped to George DeLorean and Roger Schmidt. Restored. Looks like there are still a couple out there, who knows what is still out there. I found the story on the NASA forums when the bidding was at 80,000.
