What the heck did I find ?

Ok well while out and about with my brother and his wife this last saturday and enjoying some garage sales, I pull up to this sale and as I get out of the car I look across the street at a vintage porche sitting in the driveway and the garage door is also open on one side and sitting in the middle of the open and closed door I see this car just stareing at me and saying come over here and see me, so bam I take off across the street totaly forgetting about the yard sale, so after seeing it's owner pop outside I just had to ask and after 45 minutes latter I was amazed at what I was looking at, so this is a test for you car nuts, who can guess what this car is and who built it.Chris

 

Well, the pictures are labeled "caru de carrera", so...is that it?

 

Porsche ?​

 

Devin?

 

Ok it's not a porche nor a caru de carrera, it's powered by a hot flattie and was built in california .keep trying to guess.Chris

 

But did you get it?

 

I saw one of those or very similar at the Fremont Reunion in Sacramento eons ago (89-90?) red and flathead powered.

I think it's call a DiLowry or something like that.

 

I'm thinking of LaDawri and turns out that was a local company to me.

Perhaps it's on this site...

It looks like a table with funny looking legs.

 

Looks like they ran out of artistic inspiration after the nose.

 

Shurly there are some vintage so-cal hot rod buffs lurking around here on this site, geeezzz
ok I'll drop another hint, they only built 3 cars ,this was a home built deal as well, some pretty interesting guys were involved.Chris

 

Ok another hint, it was known as the "bull" Chris

 

Does the car club the strokers ring a bell. Chris

 

Its one ugly work bench. Other than that I have no idea and really don't care.

 

George barris. He built everything.

 

I have no idea, but I'd like to know.

 

ak miller......Doane Spencer..........damnit, i can't remember.

 

Well so the guy who owns it tells me it was built buy a couple of guys who were in the Strokers car club and the sister car had a jimmy six that beat the pants off a fuelie vette at the local track ,and something about Alex X. being involved somehow, it has all ford running gear and even saw the pictures of how they built the car,very interesting part of hot rodding and the pictures he had were way cool.Chris

 

So did you get it at least for the flatty?

 

I tell ya what I don't think there's a soal on earth who would be able to pri this thing away from this guy, he has had it in his garge for 8 years and as he tells me he found while looking at a 67 pontiac to build and the guy he got it from said the guy who built it down the sreet from him pushed down to the guys house and gave it to him, not sure what the current owner paid for it but it sure is interesting to say the least, the whole body ,doors and hood and rear deck lid are all fibor glass, he took it I think to pebble beach races once and was asking for info and one of the builders walked up, I never did get the builders name
all I know is he was a Strokers car club guy.Chris

 

all the smart guys on here went to bed. ........i'll bite who/what is it.

 

It sure looks a lot like a Woodhill (sic) Wildfire. They had flatheads and the body is very simillar.

 

Here's a cool site: http://fiberglasssportscars.com/

Your answer might just be in there somewhere.

Edit: sorry, didn't see TomP64's post. Still a good site, though.

 

It Looks like a Kellison Car.

 

I think Henery29 is correct it's a Devin. I used to have just like it. It came with a 283 chevy and a muncie 4 speed. It had MG frame and rear end.

 

Could be a Berkley too..

 

So after all this, you don't know what it really is either?

 

Don't think it's a Woodill.
