The Riley motor was owned by Harold Johanson in 1946 and the motor was installed in Jim Latten's roadster and raced at the lakes. In the late 50's Wes Cooper and Ray Basso purchased the motor from Latten. Ray then bought the roadster in 1963 from a fellow that had won the car in a raffle. In 1973 Pete Eastwood updated the chassis and in 1974 Bill Stuart did all the sheet metal work. The car has an NOS Culver City Hallibrand quick change rear end with a ‘38 Ford rear axle assembly.
