This is going to be a replica build of the Palmer Special, driven by Hal Browning, during the 1967 thru 1970 racing season.
This was very similar to a sprint car with different body work. It also had cross torsion bar suspension on the front.
They raced in Central Pa. and Maryland.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I'm working with the car owners son on this build. He has provided pictures and some detail I normally don't have available for these replica builds.
