Saw a Moal Roadster exactly like this one (which is owned by Tim Allen) at our local cruise night at the MacDonalds a mile form my house here in Morris County, NJ.

Sorry, I didn't have my camera....I'll bring it next time.

The one I saw has Ardun hemi-heads....probably the coolest hot rod aftremarket add-on ever.

You know where the name Ardun comes from, don't you?

After WWII, this guy developed overhead valve conversions for flathead Ford trucks.
Then, Ford came out with their own overheads, and he figured he was toast.
Suddenly, the hotrodders found out, and he sold out.

His next project was to got to GM and become the "Father of the Corvette".

Zora ARkus-DUNtov was his name.

When I was about 18 I actually met Arkus-Duntov at a Watkins Glen F1 race. He was driving a Mako-Shark show car and I ran up to see the car. *Then* I realized who was driving it!

Years later, I actually sat in the first "special" that he and his brother built. It was very primitive with a flathead Ford V8 and poor quality welding.....but still cool.
