  1. I see more Amilcar C6 in it than Bugatti. Heres a Amilcar C6 for sale on PWC right now. The lines are there even though the B&W photo shows the headrest these cars were also modified from original. More than likely in the 1950s these old race cars have also been crudely modified for regular road use and eventually in the 1980s/90s went through their first real restoration. Quiet a few for sale on PWC under the group "specials "

    Does anybody know the function of the forked lever hanging off the front spring hanger of the front axle? It looks kinda like an anti-roll (sway bar) attachment point but I do not see an anti roll bar.

    That is an'18 Cadillac chassis for sure.
    Is that the same chassis?

    I wonder if those fork thingies actually belong there, they kind of look like friction shock absorber arms, maybe they've been bolted there not to be lost?
    Or it's just the way someone did install shock absorbers on it.

  5. Seen that. Has a 22 date on it. Probably where the chassis came from for the speedster build
