Few articles generated as much new information as the one on the Lithuanian Talladega a few days ago. To date the most interesting information as come from our Team Member Kjell Rygge of Norway. Almost instantly Kjell forwarded to us the original article that was referenced in our Post. He also included some great additional photos of the car from its racing days.
I have included the article and some of the photos. Now if more of you can come up with additional information I will run it right here. What I can’t understand is here is a car in Lithuania that used to race in the UK after leaving the US and a fellow in Norway comes up with all this good information and I have been trying for three years to get someone to help me find some racing photos of our SCJ Dan Gurney Spoiler from up in the NJ area and have had no luck! LOL!
Linas, the current owner, also provided the following additional information since our original post.
“I found out, that my car back in the day was running with “exotic” Holley 3916 three barrel 950 cfm carb, which always had this NASCAR or hot rod image around it. I was lucky enough to locate one rebuilt Holley 3916 in UK, dated for late 1969. I will reunite it with the car, since at the moment it has some generic Holley 4698, which is not in a good shape at all.”
Richard, thanks for posting more info! The world is really small, when it comes to Talladegas!
