I am comparing this picture with another picture taken at Gainsville with Phil Mandella driving the cuda, with Bob Lambeck Ent. on the front fender. No Joe Allread or Rick Houser.
Mike,
This is the same car I am talking about - DeFrank had it went tp Lyden & Johnson in PA. I think that Jim told me they bought it from a guy named "Pistol" Pete who had the car at Ron Butler's shop for some work. I don't know any earlier history (that I can prove) than that.
Thanks,
Mark J
