I haven't read through all the posts in this thread yet, but I have always wondered about how a coupe from Louisville, Kentucky ended up with a Larry Watson paint job?

It’s a very interesting story. It’s in here somewhere a few posts back. I’ll see if I can find the post number for you

A bit disappointing. What has happened to Phil. He seems to have disappeared from the story...................

 

I'm still hoping it gets posted on the lost and found site:

I emailed them with this thread. Maybe it will get some notice.

 

Not sure I tried calling a few times but nothing

I just read through this whole thread... Fingers crossed this story will continue and we find out what became of the car!

 

I have it on my list. I have to complete a couple of stories I'm working on first, then I'll start working on this

 

Sounds good. Thank you

Bump

The car was chopped and channeled, had uncomfortable seating, a thirsty engine and a tiny gas tank. I have my doubts the car will be found in that configuration as it appears to be something someone would/could/might tire of rather quickly.

I can't help but wonder if it possibly retained its paint job but got the channel job reversed, different seating, possibly some fenders, etc. Changes someone who loved the car but couldn't tolerate it the way it was would do. Maybe the engine got dropped in the 'club dragster' and there's a SBC in it now.

I do however still think someone has to remember this car after your Gramps owned it ...

The dash might be the same though. I might be inclined to focus my search on that feature.

 

Late night bump

Doesn't look like they've had time to get this rod posted to their site yet. Thanks for your work @SuperFleye .

 

I’m still turning up a big zero. Looks like a dead end for now.

 

Back to the top.
I hope everyone is still looking for this rod.
