Yes, only about 100 Butler body / chassis combinations were produced. See the "production figures" post for more info. The car on eBay right now is not a Butler. It is a very early Arntz, before the front / rear body hoops and door guard beams.

The cutback (or notched cowl) hood was only used on some later Arntz cars for access to the Chevy distributor (see pic below). It's not really even that common and mostly only appeared on Arntz's "type 4" cars. Ron never used this hood on the Butlers; they all had an original style hood, as they came from a completely different set of molds.
