Surprise find

[WestTexasS2K]

I'm in the process of buying a building from a guy that lives out of town. The property belonged to his dad and he inherited it from his dad after his passing.

His dad was an interesting man. He was an engineer and was a motorcycle racer for years. According to his son his dad designed submarine drive systems for the Trident class subs.

 

The son had a 56 Alfa Romeo convertible stored in the building. Part of the deal was I had to dig the Alfa out and deliver it to him in Dallas. He told me I could keep everything else in the building. He was thrilled that another car guy was getting the property.

 

So when I gained access to the building I found this little treasure sitting in the corner.

 

His dad built the car in the 60s for an SCCA class which was a 1.3L engine limit. So he put two triumph 650 engines in it with a chain drive. Its space frame construction like a lotus with a hand formed aluminum body. I dont think he ever got it on the track. I wont be able to move it out of the corner until I close on the 14th. It looks like it could be a fun project like I dont have enough of those in my shop already.

Pics are grainy and small. I cant tell what I'm looking at.

 

But whatever it is looks like a lot of work
