I remember the car from the '70's at Numidia. ..You either loved or hated it !
The Phillips 66 sponsor used to run a SS/U or V Olds ,and Joe Yost and Don Burns at B&Y machine shop are still in business, still building engines.

Wow, great find...I hope they leave it as is! A little clean-up and TLC is all it needs...

A bit odd....complete Mopar drivetrain in early Chevy...hence the name...wouldn't change a thing....

What's that antique car in the corner of the garage?

Stegmeier - I believe his first name was Delbert - ran a SS/U 55 or 56 Olds stick at Maple Grove regularly in the 76-77 timeframe. He used to tow it the track on the back of the Phillips 66 gas station tow truck with the rear wheels in the air. It was a low 13 - high 12 second car that was impressive for a low buck effort. It went rounds too. I loved watching that car run.

Anybody have some pictures out there?
