I think this is a picture of Sullivan's newer recreation of the original Silver Bullet. He also owns the original.

I agree, Jeff. But, I was thinking about this car's link to Chrysler Engineering, as an unofficial Woodward Ave. test car. Perhaps Jimmy was experimenting temporarily with different induction on Chrysler's behalf. Another characteristic of the Silver Bullet was its 4 muffler exhaust system. It looks like this car has a lot of stuff hanging off its undercarriage. I tried to enlarge the picture, but it gets real grainy. It almost looks like there were graphics on the side of the car, when I enlarged the picture, but I could not make them out. Maybe it is not the Silver Bullet, but the overall stance of the car (minus the different hood) and flared rear wheelwells gave me the first impression that it could be. I am sure that you have considerably more knowledge on early race cars than me, and I bow to your expertise. Dave

The modified rear wheel wells confirm thats the car.

Seems to be some controversy
The Real "Silver Bullet" - 2007 Woodward Cruise | MyRideisMe.com

"After five years of intensive interviews, including several with Jimmy Addison, Ted Spehar, Darris Ball, Tom Hoover and Paul Schram, I can heartily confirm the fact that Harold Sullivan’s version is the real deal.

As for Manuel…

Jimmy Addison’s last comment on the subject was simply this:

“He doesn’t have what he thinks he has.”

End of story.

Guess the Germans held a "little" dislike towards French things. lol lol

Oh there were plenty of those 'little' things on the back roads and in the hill country of Germany. Always thought how could anyone drive one of those mushy things. They always looked like they were about to roll over in a turn.....the 2CV wasn't fast enough to be on the autobahn.

A fluke amazing find popped up in my old highschool buddies fb feed today. That day back in '79 that we pooled our money for gas to get out of Sin City (Smiths Falls) and took the Bee to Luskville Quebec to run the 1/4 mile. I had that time slip in the glove box until I started the restoration in 2015 and then somehow it went AWOL.

..and just to clarify it's not the camaro. My Bee is 3 cars back behind it.
