Perhaps this is the Calliope fitted with a Buick V8 engine built by Jon Reski of Moorhead MN?

That's it!

In 1965, Dave Moothart had Ed Cicottes’ Louts 23B in his garage as a “template” and built a copy from the ground up. The car was called “The Moodini”. Moo for our last name Moothart, and Dini for the first engine he used, from a Renault Gordini.

Thanks for posting it - I've been looking for a photo of the Moodini for a long time now.

Congratulations Oguerrerob on reaching 400 points  :applause:
