While you guys are searching, see if you recognize my Fiat or can find more info on it.

Here it is at Union Grove 1968-1972

Thanks ! I will pm GUFFEY as soon as I get back from dinner,..... this car is shaping up to be really curious !

 

I saw Harry McAuliffe today at the PIR swap & he is still looking for info on the Bonnie and Clyde Car. He's trying to document the history of it. He was visiting a friend in Tacoma Wa. & they came to the swap.

He said it ran originally as a SBC and with his partner they ran it with a BBC in the Detroit area. The last he heard of it it was in the Chicago area or maybe Norwalk??

Harry at 73 is still as I've known him for 14 years but haven't seen him for 4 years. He's recovered from surgery & doing well. Great to see him again.

Movin/on

 

Just thought you guys might like to see this, I was over to Harry's today and got some crappy cell phone pictures of the car,.. it cleaned up really nice, and I am really surprised at the great condition of the body !,...... He is collecting up the correct parts for the engine, (it's empty right now),........ enjoy

(sometime this summer I will try to get some good pictures)

 

Very Cool car. I saw it for sale at Carlisle a while back and wished I had the money to buy it. It had a sqweet stance with no motor in it I can only imagine How it will look all back together. Nice to see it is being brought back to what it is supposed to be and not street rodded.

 

Harry has the coolest stuff

 

It is always good to see a car like this put back the way it was in its prime.

 

Still looking for all additional information on this cool old Deuce sedan........

 

One more bump !

 

I was wondering some time back if this ever went any farther as far as finding out any info on this great old hot rod.

 

I just happened to run into this thread and I have info on this car and my friend Jerry Kracinski who built it. PM me if you're still the owner and I'll try to hook you up with Jerry.

 

Dusting off a 5-year-old thread. I plucked these pics from this year's GNRS coverage threads. Credit goes to the photographers, not me.

Unfortunately, The Bonnie & Clyde car was kinda hidden between the Orange Crate & a wicked '34 Ford coupe.

 

Cool that it indeed has survived intact and not parted out or its' original ambiance destroyed.

 

Here it is running at the Billetproof Drags @ Toutle,Wa. last August. Robbie Davis (black shirt) Owner/Driver, and good guy !

 

So cool to read this!
