He moved on from that vehicle to another one-off creation by Frank Kurtis that was powered by a supercharged 427 Ford engine. This was in 1962. This car I understand was used solely for drag racing.

View this link and scroll down to the 4th and 5th pictures. You can see both cars there.

Another car was built by Frank Kurtis for Jack Lufin in 1964 which doubled as a race car on the drag strips but also at Bonneville. Raced for many years. Car inverted at Bonneville in 1973 and apparently was broken up for scrap following this event despite not being badly damaged.
