Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

Race prepared to current historic specs with Chevy power and very much as raced. The first Old Yellar, built by Dick Morgensen, that started Max Balchowsky on his way to immortality, at least among builders and fans of American road racing specials.

Market commentary

The history and importance of this car was lost on the B J audience. The stories told by its chips and nicks fell on deaf ears. Its race record will get it invited to any damn event it wants to attend and it is worth well more than double the amount reported bid.
