The body tag seems to suggest a 1948 "Stylemaster Sport Coupe".
Body production number 810.
Trim code "150" was "Gray Striped Pile Fabric" for the interior.
Paint code "379" was "Battleship Gray Metallic" upper over a "Dove Gray Metallic" lower.

I want a mountain motor, and I don't care what it's attached to.

For those that don't know, "mountain motors" are a class of pro stock racing that run big cubic inch motors, up to 840 ci, just a smidge bigger than the super charged 500 ci babies of the other classes. Mountain motors are n/a running on gas with compression ratios around 17-18:1. They make the kind of sounds that tickle when you're nearby. I can't help but wonder what 800+ ci could do with meth and a blower.

Sonny Leonard has an out-of-class engine for sale...

"Bought it, it didn't quite fit."

I check in with the Clettus crew here and there. Do you know what his plans are for it? 903 ci takes him out of the NHRA "Mountain Motor" class.
