Since the Slant Nose option on a street car was fashioned to be in the style of the 935 track car the boxed rockers were part of the aero package that led to the ground effects of the later cars and the rear ducts (passenger side) of a real 505 factory car contained an oil cooler so it probably came out of Weissach.
Matt- I sold a triple white car to Al Copeland from Popeye's Chicken in New Orleans- was he the original owner of your aunt's car by chance ?
