Jimmy Jackson raced the Cummins Special in the 1950 Indy 500. Turbo
problems forced them out, but they were doing great until then.

Did anyone look at this car? This is one ugly old benz.
By the way has anyone heard from the owner of the SLK. I emailed them
yesterday the moment I saw the ad and told them I was VERY INTERESTED in
the car. No word. At that price, I bet they had 200 emails saying the
same thing.

book out there so I will try to find out for sure. Mike

power or is the front pushed in too badly?
