Hello, my dad is looking for his dad's vintage open wheel dirt track custom race car from the 60s. About 15 or 20 years ago he met someone named Larry Nolan Rust, or "Rusty" in Ohio. He owned a museum of open wheel race cars and at one point had my grandpas car. He passed away some time ago, but we trying to get in touch with anyone who might know about this museum so we can try to find the car. Does anyone know anything about any of this? The museum, rusty, how to find specific cars, etc? Any help would be awesome!

I do know of one person who was fortunate enough to get his car back when they were all sold. Anyone who could help you would need more information. There was an article in Open Wheel magazine about the place and included pictures of the race cars.

Found the article. It was from 1984. It says he had about 70 cars at the time. Maybe 10 of the cars are shown. But you must have found the car already.

I have some pics from Larry's place taken when I visited.

Would like to see those. Always regretted I didn't go to see the place way back then.
