Call Gerry Buchanan 218 729 4918 for information or email at blnkbrain@aol.com On Sep-17-11 at 19:12:22 PDT, seller added the following information: At a car show recently, an old time drag race guy looked at this car and called it a street legal dragster with a rat rod body. The car is very fast, but needs traction help, between the 4.86 gears and the five speed transmission, getting off the line is trickey. When it hooks up it pulls very hard. Maybe stickier tires would help; maybe a better burn out. This car works best in a one quarter mile; it wins the race in the second 1/8th.

On Sep-18-11 at 13:25:32 PDT, seller added the following information: I had a question about who built this car. This car was put together at Lake Norman Hot Rod Shop in Denver North Carolina by Roy Gidlund and Terry Sigmon who are the Rembrandt and Michelango of Custom Hot Rod builders. These men made the custom chassis, interior, and assembled the running gear. They selected parts which would be bullet proof and trouble free. This car is the kind of thing where the closer you look, the better it looks. Thank you. gerry buchanan
