    Hope everyone understands our reasoning here! Amazing car, just not right for us! If it didn’t cost so much it’d be fun to have, but that’s a hefty investment sitting around. 100% worth the trip to see it, hope you guys enjoyed it. For now, we will keep our eyes peeled for more wild potential projects!

    I had the absolute pleasure of getting to see this car in person last year. It is the most ridiculously awesome thing I have ever seen. The video here does not do it justice. To hear the guy who built it tell of how they came across this car and the amount of time and effort that went into this build was awesome. This is definitely a 1 of 1 and will make someone a very unique piece to add to their collection. This is definitely a Cleetus style car and it would fit right up their alley, but I understand their reasoning for not making the deal.

    Man I love that late 60's & 70's car racing vibe. Esso, Goodyear, Shell, etc. Reminds me of my Grandad. Very cool car but pricey for what it is.

    Hi Cletus, hello crew! You would have to do so much custom work to make that useable, you would have to make a custom rear firewall, and a rear truck trunk pobably out of aluminum, just to start. As James pointed out you would have to scan the fenders, and have them remade probably of of Fiberglas or carbon fibre. It would cost a fortune. In order to have a useable car, I would think about using the metal fenders ars a plug to make molds out of carbon fibre. Then I would store the metal fenders for safe keeping ans mount the carbon fibre fenders front and rears, the trunk, main body panels etc. It would cost a fortune and probably take one to two years to complete. Them you would have to have wheels that are narrower, and more affordable with a custom offset to make up for narrower width that would mean 4 new tires, the custom aluminum work, etc etc. You are looking at tens of thousands of dollars. Not to mention of what you would pay for the car. You were wise to pass. Maybe think about a newer less rare car. What else has caught your eye? Keep up the great videos.
