JR, I  had the pic's of the Dyna track from the earlier Ebay auction and
these  pic's of the Gamma goat test bed.  I assume that this is what  lclc
(lower case larry claypool, owner of the Vair shop who only types  in
lower case) showed at the meeting that you were referring  to..

Actually, the film may have been about the Rampside-based AGL - The  
prototype was built by GM in California. It had a detachable rear cargo trailer  - 
Although it really could not be driven anywhere without it. There was a  Gama 
Goat film too. Beyond these, Lockheed made an 8-wheel, twin-140HP  Corvair 
powered vehicle, called the Twister. That one was a hoot, and held the  speed record 
at a Nevada off-road proving ground for many years. I have a  Twister drivers 
license somewhere! - Seth Emerson (FMC - M113 Marketing manager  -in the
