Welcome to the site!
Hopefully someone will remember that car. From the picture in your avatar, it looks really cool. It sure would be great if someone has pictures or stories.
Posting a picture would help get peoples attention.
You might even try a post on the HAMB site.

Hello jason, welcome to the site. I would like to invite you to the Fred Totten 348/409 shootout. You can bring your car finished or not to the track. If, and I hope, it is finished and you want to run on the track there will be a $75.00 entry fee. If you want to show the car it will be $40.00.

Thanks mark! Like your 55 ! Gassers rule!

Wow! That car is really cool!
Not the kind of car anyone would forget. I hope you find someone that has some old pictures.
The painted valve covers look great.
Is the engine fairly mild, similar to the way it was back in the day?

Hi Jason,
Have you requested help locating pictures on the H.A.M.B.? There is a junior stock thread on that board. Also, Facebook has a group called Junior Stock Memories, the posters there may be able to help as well. Of course you have to be a member of those groups to post, if you aren't I'll be happy to post asking for information and picture for you.
