1955 Maserati Tipo 300 S #3060.

Before the car was completely restored, it had 1967 Camaro tail lights, fiberglass and liquid rubber bodywork, a 283 Chevy V8 with an automatic transmission, etc.  The owner even wanted to make the engine a 2-stroke.

This is the Texas Ed Tingle car.

That's it, yes!
Actually I thought the 283 cu in V8 was a 2-stroke marine engine but I may be wrong..

Here's a front view of the car as it was:
