One of my all-time favorites is a one-off. Nicknamed "Stovebolt Special," it is a HWM from '49 or '50 which started life as a F2 car, was later raced as a sports car, and had a Chevy V-8 (built by Vic Edelbrock) installed in late '55 or early '56. It may be the very first Chevy V-8 powered sports car. The car is now in Great Brittain, but was brought over for Pebble Beach this year.
