I hate to hear that.
I bought this model from Wild Bill when my wife and I were at the Phoenix race in 2022.

You got his autograph. That is something you'll treasure. I got the Greeks autograph one year at Seattle, & it is special to me.

Cliff I got you and Ted both beet, I road with Bill going down the return road at Lions standing the car straight up before the track opened. He was one crazy SOB.

Larry, I still have the t-shirt w/ your autograph, got it at Vegas when you ran the Darrien car & won the race. I do know one guy who has you beat w/ Wild Bill. Jay Leno was in the car when Bill flipped it at the end of the run. Not hurt, but got his attention. I think there is a video of that somewhere.

Here it is

Video: Jay Leno's Rollover Crash In The Hurst Hemi Under Glass

Talk show icon Jay Leno went for an unexpected, upside down ride in the famous Hurst Hemi Under Glass wheelstander during filming for his Jay Leno's Garage program.
