[color:\\"red\\"]HELP!! I found this car in a barn and wonder what is?? It has a Chevy straight six, manual shift, leaf spring suspension, huge drum brakes and a steel body. The former barn owner called it a "Mormon Salt Flats Racer". The license plate on the car was from 1949. There is a number on the engine block next to a Chevy Bow Tie Symbol, Casting #836915 which according to Hemmings website, is a 1933 engine. Dan from Hemmings added this info:[color:\\"red\\"] "My first impression is that it's somebody's tribute to the Mormon Meteor race cars. The Mormon Meteors used Duesenberg chassis and engines and had different lines. This looks to be a chopped-down Chevrolet sedan or convertible from the 1930s with Meteor-like appendages grafted on, either for actual use on the salt flats (the first year for SCTA racing there was (1949) or just as a customizing job for the streets. Then again, there could be some grander story to it that I've never heard" Hopefully somebody has more info about it and it's possible value...Thanks!!
