Since you guys seem to enjoy this, I am going to pass along the history of my Autodynamics Race Car that is currently in my shop.
Hammond, LA - 29 September 2006
I Purchased Autodynamics Car #1 with the intention of preparing and driving it in Feb 2007 Drivers School in Texas. Because of an accident in May 2006 I am four months behind schedule.
I could either spend the money restoring car #1 and go to school September 2007. I could spend the money on a running drivable car to stay on schedule.
I bought a running / driving / stopping race car. It only needs body work and safety equipment to get ready. It has a fuel cell already, I have new seat belts and only need a fire suit, shoes, sock and arm restraints. The car is a 1967 Autodynamics with a 1385cc (too big for FV but it was allowed) Race Motor and it has been set up for vintage racing.
I picked up the car 29 September 2006 in Cullman, AL. Today I drove it around the neighborhood and in the yard. It is wicked fast. This car was designated as Autodynamics Car #2. It was raced in the Rocky Mountain Vintage Racing club and the log book shows a few visits to a track in Las Vegas.
This is car when it last raced in 1994:
This is how it looks now:
