In this 'game' you can have up to 5 clues...and they will lead to the solution sooner or later.
I decided to give the useless ones first in order to keep it going...you can either tell me your next numbers or ask for clues  ;)

OK - clue, please.
2nd less useless clue: type of car is obvious, engine is obvious, I don't have a defined time range...the place will give it away..it starts with A!

35777: From the States
Although the year doesn't fit really, my mind is circling around the name Fitch, as John Fitch built tuned Corvair Sprints and Firebird Sprints, but the Firebird appeared first in 1967.
That was the name and since I've mislead you, you'll have back +3 but since it's not Fitch but again it's a matter of numbers, I'll take back -3  ;D
(That is only because it's a game to spend time, I won't play like that if there were points at stake)

9103: TYPE AS2 12\24 HP 1932
How about a twist in the year? Looking at 1923, it could be an Autocrat:
I look into a quite reliable source to double check...it could be 1929, but not 23 and not Autocrat.
In order to avoid such 'erratic' info, I'll provide more generic dates from now on.
I'll try Fitch(3)
not (3)

Sorry to keep changing things but I had not the time to prepare this game right.
If you nail the maker and it's just a matter of number, you'll get -1 and not -10.
(I know you won't care, it's up to me to follow my calculations!)

Fitch(2)

50000: Jaguar
Yes, yes and yes!
I changed the point system (again)...I don't think it's fair that you (and all the other players) lose -10 once you found a maker just because you don't know how many more alias I have there...-1 is fair enough.
