Look what showed up at the Midget 50 event last week Mike, and it's for sale! I can just see this one with a V6 and T5. Already has a full cage under that hardtop.

Bill, not for sure, but I may have owned this car many years ago. Was it from CA? Was the roll cage visible in the front of the upper cowl with the hood up?

Bill, another sure way to tell if Maloney owned it, Look for a "Curb Service Bracket" on the door. Apparently this is OEM for him. HA! I heard he sold his Patent to some large drive in chain back in the 60's.

Mike, didn't see it with the hood up so don't know about the cage. The current owner said that he used to race it with a Lotus engine and it has a Lotus badge on the front nose. Now has a 1275 engine installed but is still pretty quick but a bit tail happy on the auto cross track.
The current owner has a shop in Minneapolis as I remember, Minnesota tags on the car now.
Kelly, it didn't have the built in bracket, but the window glass was there and that would hold the tray I have, so I would work for Mike.

Is there some special kind of car Alzheimers when you can't remember if you owned a car or not? This gettin' old thing sucks!
