Well, heck, even at "way too nice to drive" you still gotta list a price.


Oh, and, what a super nice 55. Just awesome.

Richard,
Good luck with the sale. For anyone who has not seen the car in person, it is a VERY nice ride. We worked together while I was at Budnik on those wheels.

Who built the chassis?

[xvette]

I did , I started the build of the car in the fall of 2001 ,and finished it the spring of 2006 , the only thing I did not do is the body and paint and the interior work , all the metal work ,frame ,design,ect was done by me .

i was at detroit that year , it should have won ! what went wrong to keep it from running ?

[xvette]

not sure why it did it ,but the # 1 side broke both cams at the drive gears and ate up the valves
