I'm suprised he had the original motor,back in the days of racing,motors came and went as needed.....glad he had the insight to keep it......

Funny bumpers added after the first year or so...before Dick bought it.

The story behind the bumpers was a cop stopped the car on the street for not having any bumpers on it, at the time it only had the quick jacks,so the owner ordered the bumpers you see on it from J.C. Whitney (street rod bumpers) to keep from getting any more tickets!!!!!!!
I met Dick several times at various SAAC/Shelby events and even let him park next to me one year at Tulsa...
He was the most humble/gracious and nicest person one could ever meet.....
