Nice! Is the strip that you run at the same one where your dad raced? |

Greg, the photos remind me of one of my grandson's favorite animated movies, "Cars". One of the background car characters in the movie was once a competitor loud and proud. With the passing of years he is now more serene, but still has that inner strength and satisfaction of having been a good quality competitor. Today it's this car that reminds me the builder's spirit and depth of character made the car a competitor in it's day. I (we?) get nostalgic seeing the car today, but in that nostalgia I also feel great respect for the person that put in the effort to make it happen in his day. Best wishes to your Dad. |

@ John.. Yes he raced at 2 local tracks.. one is shopping complex or abandoned now.... the other has been in operation since 1968. @ Louise76... Thanks.. It is kind of neat to see old stuff like that.. My dad has plenty... Lots of stuff he bought or was interested in for 5-10 years at a time when he was 19-65 years old... Now he doesn't have much interest in that stuff. Greg |

I had Mondello make a head in the early 70s. He was thought to be state of the art then. I sent him the valves and he started with a new head, I think the whole thing only cost $300. I went low 12s with it in a very light car. |

Quote: Greg, any idea what bellhousin-flywheel-clutch package is in the car?
DadTruck, when I spoke to Greg's Dad he told me he ran a Weber pressure plate. I don't think he mentioned the flywheel but I would guess a stock unit. Here is what was in the car from one of the pictures.

Here is what was in the car from one of the pictures.There are a few Drawers at the garage at home with various pressure plates and clutch discs. Although I am sure at one time he used Weber Parts, I have no idea what is in there now(when the car was retired in 1972). I doubt he had some sort of trick lightweight weber or other flywheel. Probably a stock unit. Bell housing would have been / is the Stock 1964 Cast Iron Slant 6 / a833 4 speed Bell housing. Greg |

No, I am sure it will sit for many more years. It's not mine, but my Dad's. Ran in 1972. Not sure on webers, but my guess is DCOE 45. Greg |

Such a cool car....hope it gets fixed up to the point that it is a runner someday....I'd like to see that car in action. Are there any specs on the Mondello head? |
