sorry, no pics of the engine... we couldn't find any. but the car looks pretty sweet too. my scanner doesnt do it justice...



enjoy!

p.s. the car isnt around anymore. After my uncle died in the early 70s, the car went to his wife and the engine went somewhere else...

Looks cool man, do you think you could track it down and find it?

the car went to my aunt, who sold it shortly after my uncle's death. The engine went to someone else, I forget who, but I'm sure that is long gone. The car has probably been bought + sold several times since my aunt had it, so tracking it down would be tricky. It was spotted a looong time ago(20+ years) but since then, nothing. My uncle was building the car in his early 20s, and before he was able to finish it, he got cancer and died... When I get out of college, I'm going to sell my '69 coupe and buy a 67 fastback, and attempt to build a replica of his car. The cammer will set me back a few bucks.... but hopefully I'll have a decent job. If I piece the engine together from a bit of scrounging, I think I could build the whole engine for $15,000... The rest of the drivetrain will be a few thousand, and if I buy a beat up 67(no point in buying a nice one, its going to be taken completely apart either way) and do the resto work myself I could probably buy and fix up the whole car for $10,000... I think $30,000 is a reasonable goal for the finished product. Hopefully by the time I get out of college my '69 will be worth $10k... That'd be a good start! Then the 67 will sit in my garage except a few times a year when I trailer it to the track or take it for a cruise... I can dream!
