Cool car, don't see many factory dual 4bbl cars, but I guess that engine is long gone. Almost had a new engine every two years!?

The engine count isnt to bad considering the hardcore 7000 to 8500 rpm drag racing in the last 55 years. |

That's way cool, not many raced cars look that nice, especially 55yo ones.. I would imagine with that much use it's had to have a rear or two.
