SS/B Barracuda project

Thought I´d share these seldom, if ever seen in public photos with you.
Engine builder Joe Jill (Speedwin) by the front fender.
The 4-speed cars came with shifter handle welded to the mechanism. Welding seen here as two white spots.
The cars was delivered with on shifter boot, but was soon to have one you would imagine. Or shifter was soon swapped for a more service friendly type. That´s why this is a super rare photo...
