Twin engine with Twin rearends?
Very unique...... for sure.

 

One nite at the Beach the new Ivo liner above raced Ron Scrima's new liner with Pat Foster at the wheel

Well they were not the best handling cars and at the top end they both swapped lanes, and I believe it was not too long after that they both were parked for good

 

There were a couple more Twins that used two rear ends, Chrisman - Cannon pictured here.

 

I don't think so mate. Ivo took the Barnstormer to the UK in 1964. The other give away is the clothing which is not typical for that era in the UK. Plus it is highly unlikely that Ivo would take an unpainted car on such an important trip.

??? ..where goes exhaust in center!? Down of course, but ..Not much space there..

 

Yeah, cute but not real.
The only triple I recall was Lefty Mudersbach's and this isn't it.

 

Probably a repost but here is a real triple - Doug Peterson photo.

Boy, there is nothing like making a blunder like I did there, after I typed 1964 I did question it myself, partly because of the 65 GTO in that shot.
It's (painfully) obvious how easy it is for someone to distort history simply by reposting pictures on the internet with blatantly wrong assumptions.
I saw the 1964 date mentioned in the article and didn't catch that it was referring to when Swaja designed the car for Ivo.
As to the clothing; yea, probably should have looked more like this huh!

 

Here is a nod to our British drag racing counterparts.
This is a really cool website for those interested in early drag racing history of the U.K.

Quote from article about photo below.
Look at our clothes. Can you imagine any 19-year olds nowadays, going to a HOT ROD show in slacks and sports jackets or suits?— this is 46 years ago.

 

What a great photo. You can even see it's running double hump heads.
