This car is so much fun to drive and draws crowds everywhere it goes. This car has been drivenless than 2000 miles since completion. There are over $90,000 in receipts to build this car and I
doubt that it could be replaced for that now.
This car will be at Chrysler's at Carlisle, Space C32, July 11-14, if not sold before. Auction may close at any time as it is for sale locally.
