65 Belvedere - offset front spindles?

[Jim Altemoose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just bought a 65 Belvedere; fate made me do it.  It's got a 383, but
it's originally a 426 Street Wedge car.  Here's the interesting part. 
I also have an original 63 Max Wedge Polara 500 (in rough shape; long
term project).  The 63 doesn't have the original engine either, but I
have a correct '63 426 stage II motor to go in it after fixing up the
body.  But it just so happens that the engine currently in the 63 is a
65 street wedge.  So, it'll take some time, but eventually I'll have a
couple of nice wedge cars, and two young boys to enjoy them with
(assuming they'll like cars.)  I'll be selling my '72 Chevelle SS to
make room.  Oh well.

The previous owner claims it was raced as "The Professor".  Bill
Spirey raced a series of Belvederes called "The Professor" in the
mid-60's, so I suppose it's possible.  I love the history of this
stuff, and if anyone had any info regarding Bill Spirey, or "The
Professor", I'd love to hear it.

He also claims that it had factory-installed offset front spindles and
roll cage.  I'm skeptical about this.  Has anyone heard of anything
like this?  I guess the idea is to move the front tires forward as
much as possible to distribute weight.  The car was built at Lynch
Road, and I've heard of cars heading straight to the 'experimental'
building, which I think was actually a Pontiac dealership on Woodward
Ave.  But I wouldn't have thought they did things like spindles and
roll cages.
