I was going to suggest messaging Tom Goldman on Classracer but I see he's already jumped in the thread there. That will be the best place to check. Lots of old east coast S/SS guys on there.
If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

this place is [about] the only place i visit on the interwebs. i don't do fakepage either, so i thought you guys might enjoy this. i agree, this thing needs back out there getting the beating it deserves. looks like a real FUN machine. as i don't visit other sites, does anyone know if this is a recent find, or is this kinda old news ? is it getting "restored" enough to bring out "as is " ?

The first few pics had me worried, glad there is a happy ending. ught to catch more than a few people off guard when the hood is popped open. Needs a straight axle, nose in the air stance too.

I recall the HAMB having pictures of the same 57, same engine, maybe six or seven years ago. That's pretty much the last time I was over there.

Says in the classracer thread that it was restored in the early 2000s back to factory original condition. Sad. Was much cooler in as-raced condition.
