Not sure about the body being "all steel" as indicated in the info (maybe I have misread it)....but this would be pretty cool (in my opinion!).

Looks wicked, but how the f%^k do you get the motor in ? Maybe its a funny car flip top style !

Definetely has alot of potential. It looks like a real good roof chop - maybe HRM should pick it up ?

Yeah I think it is sweet - if I had the time/money/space/permission from missus I'd snap it up. But alas, "you can't always get what you want" so the song goes.

Would be good to have more info on the particulars of the car, but I guess people can contact the seller if interested.

The rake on the front windsheild is too much for me... A chop is made or ruined onthe shape of the window aperatures. Look at the side front and back ones there... to they look harmonius?

Besides... the shape of my chop is better... now just to fix the welds... Then start work on the guards and the chassis and the new dash...

This one would be better as a drag car.
