Looking for a Butler

I'll break the almost two year drought of posts here with my search for a Butler. After selling my Arntz a few years ago, I've decided to try to find a Butler. I've chased down a few in the last...

That car's been around quite awhile. I'm guessing you're not the one who bought it from Ron Butler in 2008? Ron bought it off the previous owner, fixed a few things and then sold it on. It was not...

It's a Butler

Definitely looks like a Butler. Could be an Arntz but it's sure got alot of Butler pieces on it, so I doubt it. Chassis...

VC455,

If your car actually was built in 79-80, it's an Arntz. Butler may have supplied some parts or done some labor but it won't be a Butler and won't have the BRI number stamped on the frame...

Hi Jack,

Welcome to the group!

If there is no BRI number on the frame up front, it's not one of the 104 cars that were built in the Butler jigs. It's most likely an Arntz but still could have...

Scott,

I'm quite sure you know what I'm talking about and I'm hoping that you will use discretion in posting future comments if you choose to stick around. Thank you,

Scott, please don't think you can sneak back in here after 5 years as if nothing ever happened. You're still not welcome.

Jack, pictures of your car would be really helpful. If the original owner had it before 1980, it's not a Butler and since you didn't find any numbers anywhere, that confirms it. Post some pictures in...

67snake,

If you have a Butler, you won't find anything under the seat, only where Russ states. All the Butler cars have a complete frame number here. If you have one of the 60 frames Butler built...

Well, I'm not saying for sure it's #44 but it seems to point in that direction. Someone could have changed the numbers or stamped new ones that just happened to be really close. Hopefully we'll find...

Don't worry David, you do have a Butler. It's just a little different than everyone else's since you had a few pieces missing! Looks like someone was going to do all aluminum inner panels and got...

Arntz never made it to 91" until the very late Type 4 cars. The most common Arntz, the Type 3, still had a 90" wheelbase although many have been modified, as you guys are discussing. Ron Butler made...

Could be anything with that number... Do you have any pictures? Front, rear, engine compartment and door hinges would be the most helpful to look at.

The carpets were all made at a shop in Los Angeles that is long gone. There are no patterns. Your best bet is to have your favorite shop make one up from scratch; it's a pretty simple job.

Nope, not a Butler. It looks to be an early 90" wheelbase Arntz. Someone got quite a deal though. $5200 for a roller!
