She sat in a leaky barn since '74 as the new owner got bored fixing the motor and stripping the fuzzy finish. And than two weeks ago got towed on flat tires to that driveway where I saw her and covered with plastic even before I bought her. The deck is gone. Fuel injected engine seems complete. The whole rig seems complete. I hope there might be a name on the sheet metal that careful sanding would show.

1955 Pontiac engine with '57 heads, injectors changed to run on gasoline.

I found a picture of another one just like mine:

Hope to find out as much as I can about her and restore her to like new condition.
