More about the car:
I bought it from the gentleman that did the rotisserie restoration.
The Original VB block was rebuilt and a mild cam and bored .30 over. Two stromburg 97 s are now on it . The original Holly 94s finally gave out . It originally came with black wheels and white walls and ford caps which I still have and really lined . I added the powder coated bengal orange wheels and slight rake for a look I saw and loved .
