    The one that I saw was called a TOMCAT, I think. 91ish!? Wildcat body with lots of titanium and the 650 replaced with 1000cc! I have never seen another since.

    The MAGICAT, HELLCAT, TOMCAT, were all versions of the same sled...89/90 Wildcat with a custom built 975cc triple. Blackmagic built a few, so did John Noard from ARSC. I'll look for some pics in my collection.

    Duane from the site here has the Anoka Ramsey version of the 1050 tripple, made out of a 700 Wildcat motor.  Fast and heavy but very cool.

    I am not sure but I think I have a Magic cat that came from out east.

    It looks like a 1988 650 wildcat ,but it has an all aluminum bulkhead (stock bulkheads are steel).
    It came with a mod 700wildcat motor with DYNA ignitition,chassis was set up like a pro/stk.

    ps I don't have any pics, but I'll try and take some.

    Walter Briggs built a aluminum bulkhead wild cat pro/stk about 1993 in N.H.
    Maybe its the same one?

    As I recall, this 1000 Tomcat had an aluminum bulkhead, titanium motor plate and titanium stuff in the skid as well. It was sitting for sale for a long time at a local dealer and was a whack of cash at the time. I know the guy who bought it and as far as I know, he still has it. I haven't seen him in years, I suppose I could look him up.
