    Had tried to contact him earlier this summer, left a message but have not talked to him in person. Right now is harvest time around this part of the country and most of the agriculture world is beyond busy so will probably wait a bit before I try again.
    Were you somehow connected with the Brizio shop or maybe owned one of these "T"'s at one time? Sounds like you have a lot of great inside info which I will certainly p*** along to the owner. I really want to investigate this car further as time permits and will post what I find. Thanks for the reply!

    Those are Andy's roadsters in the frames. One being an AMBR winner.

    Well, no updates on any of the history of this - what we're pretty sure is an Andy Brizio built touring. My meager detective work isn't turning up much.
    BUT... I talked to Darrell the owner this past weekend at a local show and he has decided to sell this car!

    Wish my wallet had a little more substance. :(
    For those of you who have shown an interest in it, here's your chance! Check out post 30 on this thread for some neat background info on the Andy's T's and this one, courtesy of @akbo47
    The car needs a proper caretaker, and I believe the H.A.M.B. would be the right place to find one.
    Here's a parting shot of Darrell leaving the show on Saturday... damn that looks good.

    This car has been redone with a new white interior and modern sbc engine, same wheels and headers, and street driven. The original engine is on display ,the car is in a private collection in Missouri. The makeover took place in 2020.for do***entation purposes the original front seat bottom seat cover was left in with the new placed over it. And yes it has a proper caretaker, most likely forever.

    Thanks for the update. I had not seen Darrell since he had it for sale. There might be a possibility I'll cross paths this weekend. Glad it went to someone who knows/appreciates its history. I do hope the present caretaker sees fit to get it out of that private collection from time to time and drive it!
