The above row of pictures show the car as I drove it over the past couple years, ran Rally's and/or American Mags on it most of the time because I liked the look better than the hubcaps and as a bonus the wider tires rode and handled much better than the thin Coker goldlines. Car currently sits on the Kelsey Hayes wheels and hubcaps.

looking at the dates, ugust 14th 1964 must have been an important one for this car, lock was cast, rans was built, nd cluster was built all on that same day.

Car has been kept inside for what appears to be most of its life, t is very solid with an excellent rust/pit free frame and excellent birdcage. it is the driest midyear I have ever had in the rain, Carlisle 2014 and 15 and the Summit racing show in 2015 where it really poured!). most all components work except the clock.

The car (and me) are in the flag picture, ts on the right side very end of the 7th stripe
