Some folks have said they like to see the wild stuff that shows up at Hughes Performance from time to time..

A very fast sand rail..... aluminum Donovan block , Brodix heads , 6-71 blower, Winters quick-change attached to a powerglide tranny.

Crosley, have you seen the 50 Crosley wagon on E-Bay? Bad thing for you might be that it's in Ohio.

The same seller also has other cars for sale, including a 57 Isetta. Check his other auctions, and look at some of the cars in the background.

That looks like a trainer for an ex-racer. Needs more motor.

======= I bet it is!

the motor does sound a bit on the mild side. Pulleys indicate a 1-1 ratio between the crank and blower
