Stuart.  Welcome to the site.  I’m guessing you are looking for information for this car?  I'm no help but maybe someone else can recognize the car and chime in?

I would like to hear that engine in the middle of a long straight. They seem to build these cars for high RPM so it should have really been singing! Chuck

Y's guys rule!
Looking for McCullouch VS57 brackets and parts. Also looking for 28 Chrysler series 72 parts. And early Hemi parts.

Stuart, i,m assuming that info you mention from 2yrs ago was what i posted? the car was a hill climber built in Qld and raced on tarred windy road racing circuits, briefly going over it, many yrs back i sold 292 to owner and pictured it was like an off road buggy, so was when i went to pick over some leftover engines up near where i recently moved to, discovered more of the story as the guy there lent me the framed pic of car, after contacting retired photograper who,s stamp was on back of frame, pointed me to sporting car club and eventually current owner contacted me, incidently who i allready knew!! he has restored it and races it, among other cars he collects. As for speeds etc and how it went is lost to time, would have been one hell of a ride! as would all of the early y block raceing derivatives that people pioneered. regards bill.

AussieBill,

you may have already done this, but have you ever sent in that article and photos of the car to Bruce Young for the Magazine? Seems to me it would be right down the YBM alleY!
