I don't know the particulars about the cars the Doc had. He had that stuff a way way back. Once he brought in a nice original 526 with a motor noise that I adjusted out of it. It was an education because it had 8300 miles on it.

However, you should be able to check the facts by contacting the museum librarian who will check on it for a fee. I only know Doc had the cars because I inquired to an old timer about the Victoria in Turnquist's book and was told "That's Hoeschbaker's car. He had a pair of them."

But if you really want a chase, supposedly there was a boattail on a 745 chassis in New Jersey. It was owned by a nut who had a lot of unusual stuff. I don't know his name but I did know people who knew the guy and heard about the thing from a couple of people.
