hi guys, dont know if this is the proper place, but thought i would try it here. sometime ago, i read pintoplumbers report on the jalopy drags held at beaver springs, and in his post he showed an old 57 ford drag car. since this bodystyle is one of my favorites(dont have any i dont like) i was intrigued to read that the car had later in the day displayed a for sale sign. later on in the week, another photo of this car appeared on a local website posted by a close friend of mine, so i called his to see if he remebered the phone # .he had it! called the owner and made arrangements to see this car. this car has 8 books of documented history all the way back to 1959 up to 1982 when it was put in storage and until beaver springs hasnt been out of storage. the engine has been turned over every so often and with the exception of some rust in the fender areas is a solid car. 60 over 312, lunatti cam , big heads, fmx, 457 gears, slicks, roll bar, fender headers, old sun tach, and a very nice pre 60 roll and pleat on the seats. with the 2 4 setup, alot of time slips plus record of money won, in the low 14s, but with the supercharger,and 2 4s , 12.80 time slips , and more than 1. what an awesome old car! this car belonged to a man that has 4 buildings full of old y stuff, did you notice i said "belonged"? happy to say this nows sits beside my y/block powered 32 3 window coupe which is beside the 56 bird in my garage. my wife is ecstatic!
