Not unlike a certain 71 hemi convertible... basically a whole new car built around a cowl.

On that Hemi convertible I would think that they found a nice solid shell and simply cut the numbers off the old one and then butt welded those sections to the new shell. AKA REBODY.

When I was at Darren's house he showed me where they buried it for the show.  I remember thinking, why did you bury a car just to dig it out?  :Thud:

If that was the original paint it looks like it wasn't a Billboard car like it is now....still curious about the Argent grill, maybe it was built around the time of the truck accident with the load of painted bumpers I read about.

  I was wondering about the early history of that car.  Some one here was telling me they thought the car was around the Boise area for a while. He thought he saw a Firebird raceway sticker (the local drag strip) in the 1/4 window in an earlier photo.  I noticed the car has Oregon plates on it.  Does anyone know where the car is from??

The best I remember the Billboard was added at the request of the new owner.

You went to Darren's house? Cool maybe, lol. I'd guess they buried it for ratings, it is after all a TV show.
