History

• First introduced to the car in the early 1980s as it was my grandfathers' Ray Wolfe, Leonidas Michigan. Since then to date the car has been stored in doors.
• 1986ish the car was sold to a high school classmate, Tim Slater, Sturgis Michigan. Tim and my cousin were the same age and they spent many hours maintaining their cars for shows and the weekends.
• In 1991 my grandfather purchased the car back and I purchased it from him.  It has been in my care since.
• In early 2003 a knock began in the lower end of the motor.  The car was sentenced to the garage. I pulled the motor and found via rotation and removal of the oil pan that main bearings 6-8 were scoring. Pulling the heads identified that cylinders 1-4 where running rich, with 5-6 less rich, and 7-8 were showing a lean run.
• St Clair Engine rebuilders was a known friend of a friend that builds circle track race motors.  Larry was hired to rebuild the motor.
• The motor was placed back in with a new starter, fuel pump, and clutch.  The Tri-Power leaked in the mechanisms; therefore, a call and purchase from Edelbrock of the specific intake and dual 350 carburetors to match the rebuild.
• The car has been taken out for Sunday drives and the occasional local car show but has not seen 1000miles in the 9 years since the rebuild.  Run time is more than miles as it has been started 4-5 times a month to run or move in and out of the garage.
• Winters, the battery is removed and the car remains covered in the garage.
• This car needs no work to drive as is today and even stand up in car shows; pump 3x and fire up.  Additional time and money would be required to improve to car show award level but there is a very solid foundation to work from.
• Parting ways for the car to be in the hands of the next enthusiast.

The car will be at the Woodward Dream Cruise Birmingham Michigan August 17th.
