In the early 70's (not sure about dates)there was a 64 Malibu built in and driven on the streets of Bakersfield that had an Allison v12. It had 4 AFB "E" series for caburation. 2 speed Hydro, I think.
Does anyone know where i might find pictures of the thing. I believe it was in Hot Rod and they only did a 2 page spread on an incredible (as i remember)
I was at Fresno State at the time. Didn't get to Bakersacres until '72 so wasn't around to feel the ground rumbling. I'll ask around some of the old timers. Ernie Hashim still has his shop, he might know.
I hit paydirt! Talked to a guy here in Bakersfield, Bix Garland, who knows Dale Woods who had the car. In fact, Bix thinks the engine is still floating around Bakersfield and thinks he can put his hands on it fairly easily. Bix is planning on building a model of the car so is in the process of tracking down detail information.
