From the origial owner,when i got it,it didnt run like it should so i ran it up in 3rd gear hard,spun 2 rods,dealer repalced crankshaft and 2 rods,it still didnt suit me and plus it now leaked oil. Next time i took it out,i finished it off and they had to replace shortblock.this was in april 67. Then his wife put an end to the racing,she told me "it was a $4k car and the nicest car we owned,we were still young ,the racing was over.it beacame his tow car for a 55 chevy race car he built.the 55 is still here locally also.She then proceeeded to make it her daily driver for the next 17 years. In 1990 it started to smoke due to a busted ring land and set on their carport for years.
I bought the car in 2012 or so,i done a complete brake job,had engine rebuilt and drove it everywhere.it never let me down,not once
