Pretty sure that is Phil Woj’s car now.

If I remember the story, the guy’s daughter drove it in high school with a 350 in it. It had a dent on the hood, where she, or one of her friends sat on it. It lost a fuel pump or something, and was parked for years.

The guy who reunited the engine and car was a home builder, and he took me to where he stored it in a spec home garage. I met him because I was looking for a Holley 4346. He had a bunch of bodies and fuel bowls, and was able to put one together for me. I had that carb restored, and it’s on my Camaro, today.
