One of the things that makes the car difficult to find is the lack of information and/or pics of the construction of the car.

Based on some of the pics and I saw a reference to fitting 32x14 slicks on it, the car must have gotten tubbed and backhalfed. Given the era, the car would have early ladder bars or relocated leaf springs, anyone know?

I think sometimes folks don't share info because they're worried someone will find the car and they won't.

I reached to Bob Veniero, we'll see if he sees my email.

Also anyone know if Bill Hayes Auto Weld is still around? I'd think he'd remember the chassis modifications.

I thought it would be fun to encourage folks to look around for the car. I'm thinking it would have an acid dipped body that might not be doing well and a original non-acid dipped nose.

-Early research had Bob Veniero as the person who bought IV from Carmen. Carmen said he did not sell it to him but he did sell him a '61 Corvette. So I removed Bob from the timeline.
