More pictures

When we looked at the car, it had the center console full of old timeslips. Unfortunately, some jackass stole them all. We have pictures, but the slips are all gone. :mad:

Very cool! What’s the plan?

Have fun with it. Keep us updated as you make progress and get it running!!!

Eddyville Dragway....that brings some memories...
Won the Super Stock season points championship there in 1976.

Was this Z in MN or IA??

It was from Oskaloosa, IA

Super cool

Always wondered if that car had the original engine or not. I've driven by it hundreds of times since the late 90's here in Osky, it sat outside the original owners dad's house for years with a tarp on it, I stopped and looked at it once and got stung by a wasp. It was moved to another house by the old football stadium about 5 years ago but I hadn't seen it for the last 2 or 3 years. Nice to know it finally found a good home, congratulations Derek.

Would you happen to have any pictures of it where it sat?

The auctioneer said someone tried to steal it about 3 or 4 years ago. Owners found a strap hooked to it and tracks in the yard, but must not have been able to move it. :shocked:
