No price yet, because as the sellers mention they really have no clue what it's worth. It's been garaged for 10 years which explains the dirt, but just look at that interior!

Love these cars. It'll have the old cast iron hydra-matic which is about as close to indestructible as automatics can be.

It's Iola, kind of like Iowa, and not Lola.  

Car looks awesome.  Just get some different seat covers and it's about perfect in appearance in my eyes.

Light weight+ unibody construction + Lowest center of mass of comparable cars of the day = one of the winningest cars in NASCAR history. 
 

Could outrun most V8s because it could out-handle them. 13 wins in 1951, 49 in 1952, and 46 in 1953.

In reply to SV reX :

Don't forget, when Smokey built race parts, Hudson gave them a part number so the cars stayed stock.
