I found this cool old race rear end this week. Ladder bars, springs moved inboard, spool, etc. Still stock width. March cast, looks like an April assembly date. I am going to take some more detailed photos before I strip the paint and grease in the stamp code area.

Nice find Matt. Any chance the rear could lead to the rest of the car?

Working on it. Not much of the car left apparently. Tubbed tube chassis car. Still has trim tag supposedly.

Apparently I have an eye problem. It's April cast. Looked like a March before I cleaned it.

What are your plans? Wonder who made those brake lines?

Nope, that's the way the '9' looks on a 12-bolt casting date

If I can't get the car, I'm going to sell it.

It's a 1969. Picture quality isn't the greatest.
