The car that Harold had was a Hemi 4 speed car. It is an unrestored car that has been to several shows in the last 6-7 years. It is not the same one that Cotton had. As far as i can gather the first 3 500's are identical other than transmission.

The three or more 500s I recall is Propane X  Jerry Services  Old Mike Russo car .In April 69 Teen magazine there was a red 500.And the Bud lindeman track tested 500

Sounds like they were in an awful big hurry to get the 500 out there as fast as possible.

I think the copy of that turned up in that other discussion already did it not?
