This was discussed on the old DW Fans Forum and I seem to remember that Antony Billington gave the definitive answer. I would suggest a search of the DW site.

OK guys you have your invite...
It's gotta be Alan Smith's Avanti Allard Dragon which dates from 1964, unless anyone's got Bootsie's DD Buick hidden away somewhere?

That's the Pulsation slingshot which Bootsie put together at the end of 1964 with Cadillac power. The DD Buick had a straight 8 Buick and ran during the 1963 & '64 seasons

I can help with this one, pulsation has been purchased by a chap in South Yorkshire and will be out later this year or early next year, sporting a few updates. Power will be supplied by V12 jag with a crank mounted blower and injection.
