What's the Holy Grail of rare parts?

Mine

 

---Gorgeous Buick---

 

Ford Sedan Delivery 1940/41 Spare Tire Hold Down Bracket..

 

Original 32 Ford frame without the reveal.

 

They’re always the parts I need.

 

Allard made them like that.

 

Apparently 1960 Chevrolet El Camino trim. I'd rather look at all the holes in my car than spend that much money on used shiny shit

 

where/when were those frames used??never knew about them

 

Prewar they used a 32 Ford frame as a basis for the Allard sports car. After the war, with no deuce frame to be had they made their own, without the reveal and a little more kick over the diff.

 

There’s enough different there that guys wouldn’t mistake that for a 32 frame.

 

They would be interesting to build a chassis with, once all the barnacles are removed.

 

thanks!

 

I have a blower manifold for a 401/425 nailhead. Does that count?

 

Pictures! We need pictures....

 

I have a pair of stock Ardun exhaust manifolds for mine! Also have an original intake manifold modified with two stock single carb crossovers.

 

I have a set of 15" 5 on 4 3/4 and a set of 14" 5 on 4.5

 

There's one in here.

 

Cragar 471 Blower intake for 348/409 Chevy

 

i have a 364 with 4 barrel, kinda rare. Cant seem to get pics from my phone to the Hamb.

 

Please tell us more.

 

I am fairly certain that never made it past a few prototypes.

 

Kind of like the 64 Chevelle with the L76 option 327/365 hp.

 

If you're an inline six racer, its a crossflow cylinder head.

 

Highly unlikely anyone would ever be foolish enough build a car like that.

 

WELCOME TO THE HAMB!!!!!!!!!!!!! These guys built HISSO powered cars.

I got to sit in this one before it went off to Germany. Originally a 1908 Mercedes that finished 4th in the first INDY 500. Larry Beals put the HISSO V8 in it.

 

Oh, Highly unlikely .....says the guy building one. I'm DIGGIN' this!

 

I was at Specialized Auto Parts in Houston,Texas in the late 60’s—early 70’s and as a young ambitious hot rodder interested in flathead fords put my eyes on a pair of Ardun 60h.p(smaller version for smaller engine) complete and assembled. Supposedly less than 10 pair produced. In the late 70’s I bought a rare set of finned aluminum flathead cylinder heads with the name Ascot Racing in bold letters. I doubled my money after owning the heads for only 15 minutes and is the only set I had ever seen. Flatheads Forever. I don’t have any pics of the Ascot Racing but do have some pics of other rare pieces.

 

@Flatheadjohn47 , were the pictured Federal-Mogul heads and the 4 carb manifold between them also yours? That manifold was one of 10 produced for the 1935 Harry Miller/ Ford Motor Co. Indianapolis 500 effort.


Here’s a restored car with the manifold

 

Moon cam driven vertex. Never seen one out in the wild and I need one.
