Steve, as far as I know there were 2 options available on drag cars. AFX lift bars and camshaft. I don't have any evidence of this but I'm guessing when a customer purchased car he chose and Les built it to that spec. 6s018 had lift bars and cam and I have notes that purchaser (City Motors) picked it up at factory, I'm assuming that is SA not Performance Associates. 6s018 also had roll cage added and was done at Bill Stroppes shop prior to owner picking up. Not sure if Les or SA orchestrated that. I believe all the 66's got the 2 options. 011 and 021 still out there, 6s182 in landfill about 2 hours from me
Steve , I think I see where you are going. In other words were the drag units "pulled" from regular inventory or "purpose built" from "base cars"? My "guess" as Tim alluded to is the factory bars were "there" and if the "optional'' "lift bars" as we called them back then , were added , the factory "bar only" would be removed. If left intact the two would work against eachother because of geometry differences. Randy
Randy,All the carryovers I’m aware of have the 65 style axle housing.Here’s what I have in my notes about the later cars.

I did not keep track of the source on most of these. And even if I had, some people simply report incorrect info for a variety of reasons. So take all the above with a grain of salt.Steve(Modified on 1/13/21 to add cars 296, 817, 853, 1134)(Modified on 1/14/21 to add cars 711, 2227)
