Wow, that picture is HUGE Gary!!! I don't know much about the car however. If I had to guess though I would say it's not an original old race car. That's just my gut though, which could be totally wrong. It's very cool nonetheless.
Thanx... this is the second photo I've seen of that car this week. I suppose it's due for a write-up some place. BTW, that's your huge pix, I just copied it from the "view" view. Gary
