Sure beats $55k that the paid on that auction site. Do you know any of the history yet? Someday maybe I'll step into something like that. Congrats!!
Love it, I remember when you first posted, lost track of the thread, youll be on the road soon at this pace
thanks everybody, I got another pic to post of the drive shaft after being resplind. I'll try to post it tomorrow. Jared
I got the history traced back to 1962. thats when Don Phillips got the coupe at the taunton m*** swap meet, he owned it until he p***ed away in 05. thats when a body shop in woonsocket R.I. got it. the coupe sat there for a year and they give up on the it and it went to the junk yard. it was then placed on top of a box trailer which is when I saw it for the first time in sept 08. After I bought the coupe I brought it to the gathering of the faithful car show and thats when Woody Woodward told me about Don. when I removed the body from the ch***ie I was able to tell that at one point somebody had welded the body to the ch***ie too far forward. that means the engine bay was a foot long and thats when I think it was turned in to a race car. thats all I got at this time. if somebody knows more please let me know. thanks Jared
here are some new photos of the clutch and splind shaft. the clutch is A 10 inch with a Lasalle center I had custom made and the pressure plate is a stock ford. thanks for looking.
