    Anyone recognize my buddy's 56 drag car that came out of Cali ? He added the straight axle but photo FB_IMG_1503359382839.jpg FB_IMG_1503359387523.jpg FB_IMG_1503359425150.jpg FB_IMG_1503157458265.jpg shows it with fibergl*** clip on. The car is now in western N.Y. and painted green/white racing nostalgia events. FB_IMG_1503157475834.jpg

    Yes, that was mine. I bought it in Duarte Ca in the San Gabriel Valley. The guy I bought it from said it had a 460 Ford Motor in it at one time.
    Duarte is a stones throw from Irwindale Raceway.

    Yes, it went to NY. I think his name is Bill. He has it up and running, as you probably know.

  8. I'm pretty sure I saw this car sitting in a driveway in Upland, California around '98-'99 when we were house shopping, other than that, I have no info, sorry guys.

    The yellow tint/headlight give it that little extra. Nice to see a CA car travel far and still living
