All,
Found this site a couple of weeks ago looking for information and parts to help putting my father's '57 Custom 70A back together. The car is one of the original Phase I supercharger cars with a D7 serial number. He bought it new in 1957 and still owns it. The body needs quite a bit of work as it was a driver until about 1974. That is when the original motor dropped a valve and destroyed the block. We have everything except the short block (it didn't make one of the moves over the years). The car has been sitting in a garage for the last 25 or so years waiting to get restored. I finally have the time to get started on it. Can't wait to see him drive it again. I am looking for a good '57 short block if any one has one for sale.
He had Holman-Moody do some work to it back in the mid 60's and it was running the blower with dual 4 barrel tea-pots until he blew it up. I remember it ran pretty well back then and surprised a few big block cars.
If anyone has any information on these Phase I cars please let me know.
Regards,
Randy
