The car was recently pulled out of long term storage and was stored correctly preserving this FANTASTIC EX-DRAG RACE CAR! Starting with the engine I was told that the running gear was from a wrecked SHELBY consisting of a HI-PO 289 with a 4-SPEED TOPLOADER and 9" REAR END. The car still has the clutch assembly pedals and was converted to an automatic sometime in the 1970's. I have not confirmed that this is true or false. I'm just going off of what I was told.
