The only Anglia i recall is the one Mike Daughety flipped. I think it was green with sbc, 4. Speed. C gas. Now that I think about it...he might have crashed at Flightland...he put wheel spacers on the Anglia so he could put on Crager SS wheels and the spacer broke... It was a 301 sbc.

I believe they called the car "Concoction" It has been long enough ago, we can probably tell stories,..lol. That car had an Olds rear end...with a "Pollosh Locker" (ya need a welder to make one) I also think they were the first ones around Omaha to use canted - angle plug heads...really helped them....also, the car was noted to shake or wobble the front wheels after the burn out.....lol. I've got lots of stories if ya want more...lol

I understand that's Bill's Machine & Supply. He installed higher compression pistons in a 440 for me several years ago.

Jeff, I did hear that from Al McNamara when we were talking shop about this car a few years ago. What Al told me was that the ZL-1 engine was also raced in a 1969 corvette before it blew up and AL had it polished and placed in his Chevy showroom.

Do you know what VIN was on that 396? Was it from a Camaro or from that Corvette?

I was also told that they had a hard time selling #22 as a ZL-1 and swapped in a 396. But where did that 396 come from?

I also may have the original cowl air cleaner for #22, muncie and POP book that Al gave me in 2004. I will have to lookup your VIN number on the list.

I also may have a Photo of that car on Al's lot from 1969.
