Bruce Smythe's "Meteor"
 
 
From Bruce Smythe:  

"In late 1988 or 89 this car left Wisconsin and came to New Zealand, where I've spent years restoring it, and now race it at historic meets. Does anyone know who owned it previously ? It arrived with a number 155 on the side, an SCCA decal on the windscreenm and a VARA decal on the side. 

This one features a 3"x 2" steel ladder frame (stamped 11/55), Chevy power, muncie m21 and
customline live rear axle, and looks a little different because of the roll cage. And where can I find Mr, Dick Jones ? Does anyone have, or
know where I can find any more information about this animal's stable mates?"


 
From historian Ron Cummings:

"The body is the Byers SR100 later known as the Dick Jones Meteor shell. I know nothing about this car. However VARA is only a Southern California club, so someone here must know about it."
