Mystery Tornado II

In the fall of 1965 John DeLorean called Bill Knafel and asked him to help him convince the Hierarchy at General Motors that the new rubber and fiberglass timing belt developed for the new OHC 6, could stand up to heavy duty use. Mister Knafel ordered this 1966 LeMans convertible with the Sprint 6 and raced it at the NASCAR Winternationls and won its class. It also competed on NHRA J/S and frequently won its class.
