Im thinking this would be a good trivia question.  I have the whole scoop on this one but want to wait on everyone so they have time look at it.

I remember stumbling on this a few months ago. I posted it in a thread here, too. The thread was about a frankenstein '61 and somehow turned into one about this car.

Tom Maruska only lives about 25 miles from me.  This Italien Tbird was one of his latest projects to be sold at BJ's.  Didn't get as much as he hoped for.  The car was originally set to be sped after the NY fair in 1964.  It changed hands a couple times in CA until Tom bought it 3 years ago, now.  Whoever bought it at the BJ auction, is unknown to me.

Cigar Bird '61-'63... Appears to have a '67 Rambler Marlin roof line grafted onto it...
