I will post some pics this evening, once I get home.
That car was a fixture in the Pittsburgh area and a heavy hitter at old Pittsburgh International back in the day. It was also successful in Division 1 SS racing.
Tom Myl was the son of Pete Myl, who owned a CP dealership out by Pittsburgh Airport. The car is now owned by long time Pittsburgh racer Jim Lydon, and was shown at Pittsburgh's World of Wheels show last February.
Bob George also raced with Tom, and knows quite a bit about the car. Tom went on to race a 68 Hemi Cuda, and a later model 70 Hemi Cuda, both in SS.

Bob, do you remember who did the motors for Myl?
Arlan Vanke I did the engines for Denny.
Did Denny ever run that car? I don't remember him racing. I loved the old MMCI shows he put on at Quaker though.

I got to meet Tommy Myl at Indy this year. We spoke at length mostly about the 70 car. I have met a lot of super nice and helpful people from that area this past year.
That's cause your such a super nice person yourself.
