Seller states:
My goal was to build a 50″ style car that I would have had then.
The cars stance and looks are what reflections of what appealsl to and stirs passion in me.
If someone else feels the same then i am complimented.
I did modernize a few things for safety and reliability.
I began driving the car before it was completed and was having too much fun to tear it back down.
Car has won several trophies such as 2009 Frog Follies Best Hot Rod, NHRA 1 of 50 of Nations Best Fifties Hot Rods,etc.
Then my health began to fail and I struggle to shift for any distance.
I refuse to put a C4 auto in it as this car is made to enjoy shifting through the gears.
Thus unfortunately this sale.
I do truly hate to see it go.
It has many old original pieces that I had collected over many years.
Car has been driven little in last 2 years.
It does have a few small scratches and a small leak or two.
Minor attention is all necesary as it is ready to hop in and go.
It runs out well even with the early suspension.
It runs a cool 165 degrees even on these hot days.
A very quick winder and a lot of fun to drive.
Longest trips are to Knoxville, Tn.
twice ( 6 hour drive one way) with no problems whatsoever.
No mufflers and a nice cam lope give it that rumble of days gone by.
It is not a show car and was built to be driven and enjoyed.
