    Could I talk you into stopping here on your way north when you pick it up? That way I won't have drive all the way to your place to see this blast from the past. I'm betting you already know which barn your going to park it in.:eek::cool::D

    I'll tell ya' Frank,... I want this thing so bad I can taste it,.. But !!! ,... I just can't do it. I have to thin out the herd,... This car was owned and raced by Pat Daily,.... And I know there is a lot of history floating around about it. Like the fact that Teddy Z did the rear wheel wells on it when he was a teenager! This thing is sweet !,... and like a time capsule from 1964-1968, that's when it went up on the shelf,....

    No harm came to it,... or "want'a-be" drag racers in all those years,... 43 years of sitting silent, and untouched, under a tarp, where it wasn't messed with,.. or even thought about.

    Wow
    And with a great history to go with it.

    10 Years ago (or so) I asked where all the cool cars from the 60's had gone, thnaks to the internet and sites like the HAMB these things are starting to surface and the histories collected.

    Outstanding
