    Here's a few photo's i found of it. It looks like it ran a Olds Rocket engine at the drags and on the salt too.

    :rolleyes:...Hamb Gold...from @Nitro Marty's late Fathers Collection...

    Thank you...;)

    I will extend congratulations to Hamber @tdog as it is now been confirmed...you are very fortunate to have acquired this vintage warrior...tell me will you make some runs down the strip with it to re-warm the idled slicks once it's done? I think it would be cool for you and Marty to meet to share some memories...I wonder if Marty was with his dad as a Young'un when he snapped these shots?

    Thanks for the note sorry for the late reply. It would great to meet Marty ! Yes drag strip, Bonneville and the street is the plan . USFRA street car standing mile coarse 130 mph limit is the plan . Those photos seem to be the most well known of this car . Amazing!!!
