I guess the Obvious would be to ask around Carneys point NJ. Maybe stop and see if the buiness is still around. Ask at another Body Shop, maybe an older policeman etc...

Yea, you would think with the billboard on the side of it that it would be pretty easy, but nobody seems to remember the shop or the car. The VIN numbers were also pulled off, and it had alot of wierd experimental suspension work done to it. I just figured I would post and maybe someone would remember it.

How cool! Whatever you do, please do NOT repaint it.
This car has history, the last thing it needs is a cookie-cutter restoration!

Any known history on the car such as last time it was raced, where it was frequently raced? You might try contacting the track to see if they have any old photos or race history on the car. I agree that it should not be repainted / restored; it's way too cool as it sits to be put back to original condition.

I bet that old photo vendor has pics of this one!! He was at the York show again this past summer.

Schoneye, what's an 'infinite line' paint job?

Car was part of the York show a fews years ago, no one seemed to know about it there. I have asked a couple of guys who were around the New Jersey street / drag seen back then, one thought he seen it before. I had come across a post on another site that I believe someone was looking for this car. I can't find the post any longer. I posted pictures there, but no one knew.

the infinite line is the pinstripe tape laid down on the white base coat before shooting multiple colors on top.
simply the tape ends overlap to avoid an end and create the closed loop or "infinite line"
