Ok, I give up. Is this the remains of the Whistler? -

Unless someone got tired of working on the disc brakes or didn't understand them and installed drums. I've seen that happen before. I just guessed "the Whistler" based on his other two posts.Originally posted by BobPalma View PostGood guess given the location, John, but The Whistler had disc brakes. BP
I'll add that somebody could have taken off the disc setup if it was in a junkyard.Comment

That's what happend to my Lark. A factory disc brake car, it was converted to drums at some point. I changed it back to discs after I purchased it...luckly, it still had the unique disc brake spindles.Originally posted by Bordeaux Daytona View PostEric DeRosa

Looks like it could be blue mist? Does it still have the vin plate?
Oh, I just enlarged your picture after I saved it and it does say "Ray Tanner" on the door. I should have known that those guys were pointing at something.
Too cool! If you bought or found it then congratulations are in order.

To Libertyville, Illinois from Chuck Naugle's in Arizona?? That's quite a trip for a parts Car.
