That thing is so cool. The "Flying Eye" paintjob is absolutely awesome.

Jim Miller & I looked at this car a couple of years ago for Dave Seely. I don't htink it was ever a race car. Notice how the body is moulded together, there is no firewall and no access to the car from the bottom.

This was request to the beginning og the months on the e-mail list:

List -

    Hemmings.com is searching for any history concerning this flathead powered
belly tanker. The body shell is 'glass, and features a Von Dutch style "Flyin'
Eyeball" painted on the nose.
    The present owner found it 20 years buried under boxes at an estate sale,
and would like find out just what its origin and history might be. Check the
link.....

At Hemmings.com is more information about.
