What's the dark rectangle visible under the car in the rear 3/4 views? You see it in both the old and new pictures.

To funny on the video! Actually though, the sister has found an old film of the car being thrashed! She told me she has to "edit" it though as her brother had a "sick sense of humor." I didn't know there was such a thing. Can't wait to see that.I will get some pics of the motor and interior. Yes it has the original valve covers, dual point distributor, coil, headers, etc. still on the car. I have a new air cleaner on it, however I also have the original fly eye air cleaner that came with the car. It is in great shape after some scrubbing. I have to find a filter and I am good to go.
The square under the car is the Motion traction bar. I love that this car is untouched / unrestored. It is great to actually see the way it was done.
Thanks for the responses and if anyone is close by Davenport Iowa, I would love to have them take a spin around the block in it. I have never experienced such brute torque / horsepower.

Holy $hit I did it, almost. How do I get the pic to appear, just not the link?
Anyway, this pic shows the Motion traction bar and the air bags, and original KONI shocks.

Great pics but gotta say that it kind of gives me chills seeing pics with this guy who obviously tried to suck lots of pleasure out of life who fought for out country and had his life cut short.
