Was the car ever put on a dyno to see what would happen with the engine under load and revs?

Yes, that was my grandfather's car. He purchased it from the original owner, a dentist in Louisiana. What started as minor rust repair and a re-quickly morphed into a multi-year, mega-buck, no-stone-left-unturned restoration. It was a show car that accrued its mileage rolling on and off trailers, into and out of show venues and in and out of the garage. 

For a few years in the late 80s and early 90s, we took the car on the ISCA show circuit, and came home with a load of hardware. Somewhere, I have a photo of Fred's 2-car garage -- one side shows the car, the other is a car's worth of trophies taking up the other stall. As I was the one who detailed the car, I still have an intimate knowledge of the car's details and the scars from continually cleaning it!

Cheers,

Scott
