Cowl hood parts missing? Splice in brake line.

Bill I first thought the same thing but if you look closer there are staple holes in the right side inner fender and possibly 2 staples in the back part of it

Im sure the hood was added over time. Nothing new on these cars as we all know. Who knows the reason for the grille swap. The brake line was probably a line lock at one time and yes the dash was most likely knocked out for a tach drive cable. I dont see anything out of line (from the limited photos) per say as it was more than likely raced early on. IF anyone is seriously interested in the car I can go look it over and take photos. Just pm me. I have no ties and do not know the car and also have zero interest in it. Just thought I would offer up a service.


I will say this. I wouldnt count on the majority of the drivetrain to be original but I could be wrong.

I contacted the seller and asked:

oldgasoline:

Why did it sit from 69 onward, and why nothing on the numbers matching?

Was it blown up or was it a race car in the past? I'd appreciate knowing more.

His response was this:

The car was raced in 1969 and ran a fast enough time that it needed a roll cage put in it. So my wife's grandfather just parked the car in his garage and saved it for a rainy day. The car was parked with 2800 miles. It has only been driven up and down the road for all the years to get to 4K miles.

I then asked what motor was in it since he claimed it ran fast enough to need a roll bar, and asked why no info about the engine, trans and diff numbers matching?

His answer was even weaker.

It definitely did with this motor. It's 1/8th mile track.
