Delightfully crude! Looks like it might have been fun. Sorry no info.

 

Not stylish, but pretty well done and not 'crude'

That's really cool! I'd roll that as a street car, after some "refining" of course. And it's a Pontiac!
Oh, man........that thing has my wheels turning. It'd be so much fun to buy an old beater, rusty Pontiac and start cutting and welding. Make the body from un-crashed, un-rusted fresh sheetmetal. I already have a '59, 389 Pontiac/stick setup and 5 speed trans or even my trusty T-85, 3 speed trans...plus a '57 ford pickup 3.89 rear axle!
Oh, and sorry. I don't know anything about your car except it's, er...stimulating.

 

still hunting history.........

Get in touch with the North Carolina Region, SCCA. Very active group in that time frame.

I bet that thing would almost go airborne at speed when the wind got under those fenders. At the very least I would think the front end would get light and loose.
