My Dad Don James built and raced a sports car in the 1950's. He referred to it as the "Special" and was written up in the March 1955 Hot Rod magazine. The car is also listed in Vintage American Road Racing Cars 1950-1970 by Harold W. Pace and Mark R. Brinker.
He was based in the SF Bay Area and raced the car in Northern CA until about 1961 or 1962 when he traded it to a friend in SoCal. I was in 1st or 2nd grade at the time. What a cool story it would make if I could find the car and bring it back to life - and run it in Vintage / Historic events.
Any help would be appreciated. I know a bit (although dated) about race cars but nothing about chasing down things.
Thanks a ton,
