Streets,

Don't delete this posting and pic, it's at least ONE of the "guess what this is" questions I've gotten correct :confused:

But the valves don't.

I spend several hours this last august at Bonneville talking to the original builder/driver of that car. It had the first known fiberglass flip up body. He was also involved on several Indy car projects in the sixties. What's his name? Bonus question, where does he live?

And for the geography lesson: Hawaii.

Sorry to go over plowed ground. Jim is still going strong, new ideas all the time. He showed me drawings of a new type of Pro Stock scoop, he designed, he is looking for someone to try it.

Not to worry enj, you did expand on the subject with the location thing. And, it's better to be a contributor than not.:)

OK, maybe nobody saw the answer I posted a minute ago...

How about a hint, BACK TO THE FUTURE

Streets, maybe the topless version will help you find a winner.

Not to mention the grille emblem and the nameplate on the nose!!!:LOL:

Hey Streets, it makes you wonder why the bean counters let the car come this far into development and then not go into production... that high priced designer got paid for creating this good lookin ride, and then they just wrote the whole thing off!

Great idea Streets, but there's just one thing wrong with paying the current crop of car designers with beans.... I think it will just encourage them to design more fartcan exhausts :LOL: :LOL: :LOL:

P.S. I love your what's up pic :) I feel just like that some times.

Hey .!! Streets......You said it....I cruize a parking lot and don't have a clue to who made most of the cars...And when there is a nameplate it's some model name I can't even come close to pronouncing.!!....
