Re: [Amc-list] Aluminum V8 Hemmings Classic Car

Was it Alcola or another name that appeared on the aluminum six casting?
Common practice in the the 60's as the Shelby Cobra covers had "Buddy Bar" casting co's name on them!
Freaked me out first set I came across. No internet and no easy source to figure out what was what, but eventually I found out they where indeed originals.
