This car has won numerous local and national awards including Best in Class at the AutoWeek (yes, the TV Show) CARnival car show, one of four Petty Garage Pick awards at the Richard Petty Family Foundation Show out of 675 entries, top 75 at the East Coast Indoor Nationals invitational, and many more. A ton of labor, engineering, care, and $$$$$$ went into this build and as expected it runs and drives like a new modern car, stops on a dime, handles like a sports car, sounds incredible, and was built for reliability. The body and paint is flawless and you can eat off the underside of the car.Although it looks like a trailer queen, it was built to drive. I have all receipts, photo - documentation of the build, a book documenting the build, and several show boards. After 26 years of ownership, it is time to build another dream car.Car is sold As-Is, no warranty. Buyer is responsible for shipping.
