Any truck bits?
Not sure; there were some bits mentioned that I didn't recognise and wasn't able to track down.
Is it aero engined?
Dodge?
No Dodge bits mentioned.
V8 motor?
Number of cylinders were not mentioned, but I don't think it's a V8.
It looks like a V-12, is it Packard engined?
It is a V12 I believe, but not a Packard.
Marmon?
Is the engine one of Auburn, Franklin, or Lincoln?
Engine from a USA source?
I couldn't find much information about this car, and it's all a bit vague. However, it's a homemade car built (possibly) by Ernie Wright in 1969 using 'odds and ends of antique cars', 'a Jaguar transmission' and 'a Norman steamer(?) body'.

Well done, you've found it!
It seems to have a Jaguar V12 engine but what a "Norman steamer" body is I have no idea. I can't trace any such steam car so maybe someone else know something about it?
Here's the original picture, which shows the car competing at the Sunshine Speedway at Daytona Beach.
You've just edged a bit closer to oblivion (aka the Professionals!)

Thank you.
3 steps to oblivion!
I would say that the engine (if it is a Jaguar) is most likely an XK 6 cylinder as the V12 wasn't produced until 1971
Good point.
You're probably right.
