Fun #7 - Cecil Moore's 1956 Corvette Custom with Dodge Red Ram V8
« on: June 10, 2011, 05:26:56 AM »
A little bit of this, a little bit of that. The commingled parts of this mongrel car might be abhorrent to fans of one or another source car, but there it is.  

Know the story? For 1 point, identify this car, its constructor, and some of the bits that went into its construction.

Partial answers will be answered with 'incomplete', so be sure to answer both parts of the question.

Only complete answers will earn a point

Some resemblance, but no. Much wider.

It is the 1957 Moore Roadster, built by Cecil Moore of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Based on a 1956 Corvette chassis, it is propelled by a 1955 Dodge Red Ram 270 cu.in. Hemi engine.
