I just posted photos to a separate thread about the car's whereabouts, but really wanted to share with a new thread. I found this locally to me and it had been sitting in a warehouse for years, there were very few photos of it online so I have been trying to research it more. Thankfully it came with a ton of do***entation and pics. It was one of the two cars built for the Shirley Muldowney movie called Heart like a Wheel...it was radically modified / corrected / updated from the several week movie build version about 30+ years back and it still holds up pretty damn well. Bombed it at 70+ mph for the 70 miles home without a hitch... I know it was back on the East Coast for the updated build, but I am not exactly sure who did the work, and for years in someone's collection in Florida. Here are a couple of photos from yesterday when we got it home...any additional information anyone might have would be appreciated.
just a heads up.... This car is listed on several cl***ic car for sale sites online, Main one being ACC, All Cl***ic cars. com it supposedly lives in Poulsbo, Washington, These EXACT photo's are what is being used for the sale posting, with a different sales pitch. also as a byline to this, This person Bombs Away posted here on sept 4 2021 yet his information states he was last seen in 2018. do we have a hacker? AND I can tell you after offering what the sale price was for the 51. but thru our credit union the seller stopped communicating with me. basically when I asked to have a friend that lives close to him to come and inspect the car for me, all of a sudden the boat took a hard turn to Port...
not much I can do here, the Op was last here in sept. if anyone is dealing on this car just remember if it sounds too good to be true it is probably a scam......
