Title: Solved - NEH 1488: Russ Losing's Fiberglass Special
Post by: Carnut on January 19, 2012, 05:40:07 AM
What's this and who built it, for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Depends on who you ask. As the appearance changed from black to tan, it's possible the the engine also got swapped.

When Barrett-Jackson sold it in earlier this year, it sure looked like a Nailhead.

Wouldn't be the first time a car owner or exhibitor didn't know jack about his car.  "I dunno.  It was like this when I bought it."  Duh.
