1cobralover,
Yes--No.5 Butler built in 81-82. 17,500 miles. Second owner for the past 4 years. 351 Cleve., Jag rear, MGB front, Tremec 5 spd. (original auto replaced in early 90s), Hoosiers (roadrace) on 8X15/10X15 Enki's, Konis. Red/black. Used extensively for street, SCCA autocrossing and some open track. Very strong and reliable. First major problem just happened: gas leaking from 20 year old fuel bladder in fuel cell setup--FuelSafe says the major sanctioning bodies limit them to 5 years. Just got the new bladder from FuelSafe and I'll check it 5 years from now (ha!). I talked to Mr. Butler about a year ago, and he loves to hear about his cars and talk racing. I had heard that he had passed on (this site--different thread), but I am surely happy to hear he's still with us (per 65cobra427). He evidently got screwed by the guys who bought the line from him--they closed a few years ago owing him money. Why the research (just interested)?

cob289,
I would really like to see what you have--could you e-mail to me?
