Anybody know this car? '60 Valiant, Mark Charmadich. Looks like BRR SCCA (Blue Ridge Region?)

My grandmother had one of those. What's left of it is still behind the barn at my aunts farm.

Don't know the car but didn't they come with an all aluminum leaning tower of power?

Whoa...was not expecting a first gen. I wonder if it's been converted to a later suspension, as the '60-'61 suspension seems to have a lot of two year only oddities?

The aluminum 225 was a pretty rare option but available.

Only the block was available in aluminum, the heads were all iron.

IIRC, in '60, all the Valiants were four-door.
