1962 'Something' custom

Posted 5 years ago by
This front-wheel drive 1962 dry lakes racer is a largely complete belly tanker with a turbocharged Pontiac four-cylinder and a lengthy, partially-documented competition history. Completed in 1962 by a team reportedly consisting of Burbank firefighter Jerry Silverstein along with notable hot rodders Julian Doty and Arnold Birner, the racer was named “Something” and run at SCTA dry lakes events in various forms until 1989. The car was stored until Silverstein’s passing in 2007, then displayed at the Los Angeles Roadster Show and sold to a private California collection. The seller first noted the car during its final runs on his first trip to Bonneville in 1989, and was able to purchase it a year ago with plans to recondition and run it again.https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1962-lakester-something/
