I've never seen this before, is it Italian-based car from the USA?

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2011, 03:41:21 PM

Not Italian-based.

Chevy V8 inside?

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2011, 05:47:24 PM

Not Chevy...

faksta · March 23, 2011, 06:01:47 PM

Malen Mk1, by any chance?

Paul Jaray · March 23, 2011, 06:13:28 PM

Not that...

Paul Jaray · April 01, 2011, 05:48:28 AM

This car is featured in a book covering this kind of cars.
It is not an obscure racer of his kind...

woodinsight · April 04, 2011, 08:54:36 PM

I'm a bit stumped with this one at the moment.
Can I ask if it has an American chassis and engine?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 03:42:31 AM

This picture shows a later development of a sport car.
It had different engines (Ford and Cadillac) but this one has got another one.
The body comes from another known name.
The engine and the body originally fitted (later modified) are both American.

... but not pictured I guess? Or do you talk about another book?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 03:53:13 AM

That book and for who is wonder which one, the one about Vintage American Road Racing Cars...
No pictures and a different engine.

Allemano · April 05, 2011, 03:55:27 AM

Eave Special?

Not Meteor-body or Chevrolet\Oldsmobile engine...and not Eave.

pnegyesi · April 05, 2011, 04:33:00 AM

It wasn't Crosley engined, was it?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 04:36:26 AM

Not Crosley...nearly ten times Crosley's capacity

pnegyesi · April 05, 2011, 04:56:15 AM

X-Ray Special?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 04:57:30 AM

Not a Chrysler engine and not an X-Ray Special..

woodinsight · April 05, 2011, 05:10:01 AM

~~El Toro (3) later Goldenrod?~~
Jack Baker's Black Jack Special of 1961?

They have both the same engine (Pontiac) but you won't find this car with that engine in that book and the body is not by Byers.

woodinsight · April 05, 2011, 05:28:35 AM

Apologies - I amended my post to Jack Baker's Black Jack Special at the last moment..

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 05:33:01 AM

I saw it but not that either (and not Ford\Cobra-Jaguar engine).

pnegyesi · April 05, 2011, 05:42:51 AM

Was there a Mercury engine involved in this project?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 05:46:23 AM

This car have a Pontiac engine.
In that book you can find a different sport with a different engine.
Not my source (or the book) reports a Mercury engine.
