    . . Damn -- I lost the right side of this photo! It's of the San Berdoo Roadsters club that met at the Hudson dealer's garage on Base Line. San Berdoo Roadsters - Left - Copy.jpeg

    Hello,

    I could not help but feel I saw this Modified Sports Car somewhere back in time. So, in my search, I found this film I took in 1960 of a Modified Sports Car at Lion’s Dragstrip. It was one of the only Modified Sports Cars with a 671 supercharged motor at the time. At first, back in the VHS tape days, I thought it was my friends who built the Modified Sports Car. I had not seen them since 1960. So, comparing it to many photos, I found out it was not the same Modified Sports Car as the one I saw being built in the Westside of Long Beach. (frame and complete ch***is/motor only)

    When they finally put the body on the finished ch***is, it took on a whole new look. I never saw the body when I visited their garage workspace. So, it was not the same Modified Sports Car from the film that I took. YRMV

    But going over the sports car photo racing the rear engine roadster, that looks to be the same modified sports car from back in 1960, with a new paint job. It seems that everything else looks to be the same. Any idea who owned the sports car or information about the motor or driver?
