1937hd45 Posted May 3, 2005 Share Posted May 3, 2005 Is the Barber-Warnock Indy Fronty on your website real or a clone replica? There are a lot of replicas of this car, hard to keep track of the real survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB1 Posted May 4, 2005 Author Share Posted May 4, 2005 The Barber Warnock car was started with parts from what we believe to be the original car . The chassis is mostly the original but the body is new . I found the original body in Chicago but could not buy it , and it is a good thing since it had been cut up and changed so much it was easier to build a new one off the photos and information I have found .

1937hd45 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Was that the one Mr.Lockrow had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB1 Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 No I don't know Mr. Lockrow . We got the parts from an old time Indy Mechanic by the name Al Singer . He had the parts for years up in his garage , I knew him a long time and didn't even know he had them until he offered them to us . He was in his 80's at the time we got them .
