The chopped top does make it a bit too cramped for anyone over 6 feet tall to fit comfortably in the cabin. If you're 6 feet or under you'll be fine. The current owner's brother is 6 feet tall and he fits in the car and he is actually still kicking around the idea of buying the car! So we do reserve the right to end the auction early although if you win this auction either by buy-it-now or by the auction running its course, rest assured you will be awarded the car.
There are countless hand-crafted features on this car. There is a beautiful heart-shaped light in the headliner. The undercarriage is as beautifully painted as the top of the car. The gas tank is filled through the old spare tire well in the back of the car. When you turn the car on the licence plate flips up and when you turn the car off the plate flips up so it is hidden!
There is one small area where the paint has been retouched and it's an area on the driver's side just above the windshield. The rest of the car was sprayed in one thorough application with beautiful Du Pont Vermillion Red and the chassis is painted to match.
There is a little black lever by the shifter that controls the expensive Sony CD player and Stereo remotely! This car has an awesome sound system which only ads to the driving pleasure. And with 453 Dyno Horse Power you know you're in for a treat!!
If you have any questions please ask them before bidding. Shipping is available by the owner for a charge. This is a car that will not disappoint! It is truly as nice as it looks and it is a blast to drive. Take some time to view the photo galleries below and good luck winning this auction!!
