Very nice of you John. Great people on this site

Re: still out there 124379N616431
 

John. I really appreciate the emblem. I would love to have it for my car. I have always loved these cars but the friends I have made because of them are the greatest part of this hobby! As Doug said this site is full of great people!!!
Thank you again.
Jamie

Jamie - you going to restore the car back to original or keep it in the RACE dress??

Re: still out there 124379N616431
 

That depends on what the car turns out to be. It is my theory that the car could be an old race car that someone turned into a pro street car??? Most of the pro street stuff was usually pretty nice clean work that was more for show. This car has that rough around the edges look of a real race car. This could also explain the missing VIN plate. In a race car if something is in the way it usually gets cut out. For a roll cage maybe?? The first thing I will do is try to find some history on the car. If it turns out to be a race car with some provenance I will restore it back to its as raced trim. If not I plan to do a very correct high quality day 2 restoration.
I can't wait to get it home and dig into it!!
Jamie
