The engine was assembled by James Kaylor who worked for Don Garlits. Yes the car tracks straight with no shakes. No there is not a "Buy it Now" price, If it doesn't sell it will go into my Chevy collection but based on it's low reserve it should sell. No I don't want trades. Hope that does it for now.On Dec-31-16 at 16:14:49 PST, seller added the following information: OK, TODAYS QUESTIONS: YES IT COMES WITH A CAR COVER. I SUPPOSE YOU COULD DRIVE IT TO ILLINOIS BUT- WHY?
