Yep. I suspect it's still thrown into a box with a bunch of others.
Funny. I was just re-reading an interview with Dr. Dick Thompson (Sports Car International May '95) in which he touched upon driving the Howmet. Great torque off the line, but no clutch nor ignition switch. To shut down, you turned a shut-off valve. When the throttle stuck, he walked away from the crash and the wheels were still spinning!
