Check this Ebay auction

Short story:

Guy puts knackered old 1963 Pontiac Tempest on Ebay hoping to get rid. No engine, no transmission, little history.

Guy gets emails from enthisuasts pointing out a few interesting points.

The picture becomes more clear, this car is 1 of 6 original factory built drag racers, and only one other survives.

Guy realises he has hit the jackpot.

Car sells for $226,000 His reserve was $500

What a great story. I don't know the history of car racing in 1963 and don't know of Stan Antlocer, but I'm going to look it up. Such a bit of good fortune that those enthusiasts cottoned on to it.
This will story will become a legend in years to come.
