I have two Autodynamics FV's. You could try to look in a few spots for a serial number. If it is a very early car (64/65) you could try to look on the cross member that supports the steering shaft.

There is also a chance that the serial number could also be located on the lower rear roll bar support on the left side of the car.

Also, a quick way to identify Autodynamics is that they were built with square tubing. Very early cars also had the gas tank located inside of the frame rails next to the driver by the shifter!...

Could it possibly be an RCA (Race Car Associates), or a Vista? RCA was built in neighboring Azusa, CA. Vista was built in Vista, CA, near San Diego.

They were both quite similar to the Autodynamics. I'll bet Bob Cornish or Chuck Tatum would know.

Thank you all!!!

It does have a square tube frame...I wish I had some better photos to show, but I'm posting this for a friend of mine, and the car is about 6 hours away from me...

He took lot's of detail pictures of the frame...he wasn't real thrilled with the quality of the workmanship, and that's what has led him to think that maybe it's not a real Autodynamics...I'm sure a lot of cars back then were built in garages by friends, and not in real "fab shops"...

some very interesting prospects...will look into it and let you know!!

...Another thing about the Autodynamics was that they were Brazed, not welded. We actually have some of the original brazing rod and material for these cars and are using it to repair the frame.

It is hard to tell from the photo. I will try to post some photos of my car (for comparison) tonight.
