"Pico Auto Salvage Special", anyone ever heard of it?

The ***le pretty much says it all. Ran a blown 331 Cadillac and I think it had a chopped Austin Bantam body. Anyone remember anything about the car, or even just saw it run? Thanks.

 

Prior to the 1980 on whittier blvd there was pico auto salvage in pico rivera ca 90660 i dont know if it is what your looking for

 

That was very likely the sponsor of the car. I've also heard Ak Miller was involved with it, which would make sense as Ak seemed to prefer Cadillac engines.

 

Kick for the morning crowd

 

I think it showed up in race coverage once in a while back in that time period.

 

Kick for the evening crowd. Anyone got any pictures, reports, anything?

 

Kicking it again. Maybe someone knows something?

 

Ak millers shop was on slauson ave in pico rivera ca

 

I remember the car. It sat indoors just behind the office. It was Cad powered, multiple carbs, (6, I think) was painted purple. A very early, primative rail... covered in dust, and hadn't run for years. I have the owner's names from their business car, I thought the family lived in Montebello, but I havent been able to locate either of the two brothers. Very nice family, I traded there for years. Last saw the car in 1967.
Often wondered if it survived. Rodney

 

Ak Miller's shop was on Whittier Blvd in Whittier.
