Steel wheels, hubcaps, channeled body, no fenders, no top or windshield. Flathead V 8, triple carburetor intake, Harman and Collins cam, juice brakes. Built by Edelbrock employee Bill Likes for SCTA and Bonneville speed trials. Restored better than new.
Market commentary
A marvelous piece of dry lakes history, this meticulously restored and presented High Boy came with a cabinet full of trophies, a spare C class flathead, tow bar, tank, receipts and more. All that and a sharp display in the preview area failed to get bidders excited enough to meet the consignors expectations. On the Salt in September or next summer this car will be one of a kind and get plenty of attention. Is that worth more than $210,000 Only time will tell.
