All the Butler cars had the number stamped into the front of the frame on the drivers' side just behind the bumper mount. The format is BRImmyyzzz (BRI for Butler Racing, Inc., mmyy for the month and year the frame was fabricated and zzz for the sequential chassis number). You may not have that many total characters if you car was numbered under 100 or was built in the month 1-9.

I've seen a red Butler around Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties over the years. No idea if it's #88 or not... hard to check the number when it's moving! Someday I'll see it at a show and meet the owner. There are at least a dozen that I know of still around the tri-county area here (includes Ventura Co.).

There were 104 kits produced by Butler Racing, in one form or other.
