    Which motor was in it when it was sold? I see one mentioned but two in the photos.

    Also the tube frame isn't at all uncommon. Hell @cactus1 has a tube frame roadster built in the late 50's and I seem to recall another roadster being found from the era with a tube frame as well in the last few years.

    Uncommon absolutely but it's not like it didn't happen here and there

    "When the coupe left Bienert (our last name) possession (I sold it in 1972 for $650), it had the 354 Chrysler in it with Hilborn injection with no stacks.."

    Did you check with mushroom farmers in the area? If it was a family and they're still growing mushrooms, maybe somebody remembers something, or can send you in a direction?
