I don't think it raced on such a famous event. I have a race track where I found it, that's all.

This is Stewart Rutherford's Chevrolet Special in its original configuration in the 1950s.
The car is pictured at Thompson Raceway.

Any connection to the "Boeing bodied" Lister-Chevrolet, BHL128?  There's a family resemblance.
