No worries Dave. I am not going to do one ounce of updates.The hardest part to find may be an NOS screen door closer that operates the door! Keep an eye open for a Pontiac Hilborn unit ! I still need to find the original owner Larry Swiatek.

Here is another of pic of the Gray Ghost.For that Hilborn setup check out www.rpmcat.com especially under Dales Stuff and www.drag.race-cars.com and www.hotrodvintageparts.com. All have very active for sale and want ads and have lots of old neat stuff on them.

Finally took some time and looked this thing over pretty good. I have come to the conclusion that when I do find the owner Larry Swiatek I am going to shake his hand. ANYONE who would get in a car like this back then and actually stomp on the gas pedal was truly a hero.There isn't much there to keep you safe OR going straight ! Thanks to the magazine article sent to me by COPO69 I found out this thing weighed in at a skimpy 1600 lbs.
