  2. Thanx for putting a name with this picture. I couldn't quite make out the lettering on the cowl. As a matter of fact, the more I look at this shot the more I think this was originally a B&W photo that's been colorized. A bit of searching turned up this much better shot of the complete car that appears to have been taken with some real color film!
    :D

    Hello,
    Unless this is another version unknown to mankind, it is not the original Tommy Ivo twin. Even when Ron Pelligrini owned the twin, it is not that version.

    No, look at the motors, it is not an upright Buick head and valve cover.

    upload_2023-5-28_8-24-57.jpeg It is a 348 motor not a Buick motor. Definitely not a Tommy Ivo build.

    Perhaps a better search could come up with a different answer...
