    Does anybody know who built this car? It looks to be an early drag or even a LSR/ Dry lakes car. I'm thinking Gene Winfield but the roof dont look right.

    It almost looks like Micky Thompson's yellow car before paint.

    I can see it now. I have no idea. But that is a cool car.
     
  7. It sure looks like Gene Winfield's old race car.

    The questioned coupe looks more like a pre-26 body, where Winfield's looks like a 26-27 body.

    Hi. Your photo shows a different chop and roof line than the others. Yours has domed roof and smaller side windows. The yellow car is completely different to me. Jimmie

    Like Minds or Inspired Minds...both are equals of History...it would be truly interesting what Gene would say.

  12. Not Gene Winfield's "The THING" or Mickey Thompson Austin.

    That is an early version of Jack Spencer's '24 T coupe. Jack would race the car up to the early 60s at Bonneville. Was even on the cover of Rod Builder & Customiser Magazine in 1958.

    The yellow car is a Bantam that Mickey Thompson built i think.
