Hey Ron, moving this to new thread. Bet you know more about this car than I do. Always wondered what happened to it.
My friend Steve Diullo, bought it from Gurney after Joe Leonard wrecked it at Riverside late 64. Bought as a roller for 3500, Gurney kept the 2.5 Climax I assume. I put in 3000 to finish the car and we ran it a bit in Cal Club. This became too expensive for our limited budgets, and luckily we got Mel Burns Ford to sponsor. Neither he nor I was fast enough, he DNF'd at Riverside in his one CanAm. He tried again at Monterey, but hopeless. Bondurant's car broke and we offered him the ride. He finished 4th, the best the car ever did. We got it to go and stop, but handled fugly. Guess the extra 2500cc's didn't help much (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) Anybody know anything about this car? Sure was pretty. Attached File(s) |
