When I brought my Superbird,back in 1977 from Brian Brewer, I could have brought a 1970 Road Runner (GBH 672K) that he used to race "roundy roundy racing" at Brands Hatch, Silverstone, and the like, which was set up for circuit racing ie double rear shocks, roll bar, perspex rear window and side windows, bucket seats ect ect. but I thought that a "SUPERBIRD" was the better car :roll: ...................this car was a 383 4bbl "Air Grabber" model with center console, bucket seats and 4 speed trans.

I very nearly nearly bought it in the early 90s, it was the first quick car I ever rode in....had the 383 and 6 pack then, and a 4 speed with a linear gate shifter..
It was stuck in a barn in glasson dock along with some other gems such as the "street lethal" mustang super gas car.

Witt sure like giving his cars a good run for the money, even his little Gordini was on Octane booster & he thrashed the living daylights out of it

I thought it this was the motor thay Witt put in the Aspen, but obviously not if it went in a Trans Am

Mark, the engine did go in the Aspen (thanks for the correction) but when Witt sold the car the new owner removed the engine and box and put it in the GM.
