OK so it's a Ford V8 special but with a non-Ford engine and it's not Phil Hill.
Is it from/in the USofA?

'Cause it was in the Pro section.

However, I'm feeling generous with the clues today, so there you have it. The point is yours!

I'll take the bait...  ;D

Yeah, that is Max Balchowsky driving the Vogel '32 Roadster.
( #70 was his racing number, he also used that on his later Old Yeller/Ol Yaller Race Cars )

AKA the Bu Ford when it had a Nailhead Buick in it, but it had a flat head Cad in it before that.
