Great summer fun car for taking the family to the beach, four speed would add driving fun. All the hard work sounds like it has been done. Its for cruising rather than going fast ( drum brakes/ 327 in a 4000 pound car). Best part would be telling kids what the red lever is for next to the shifter. (reverse lockout? ejector seat?)
Look, the back of this car is there for tawdry rutting, and somewhere between Canton, Ohio and here there has to be two or three localities where one could get away with such behavior without having the Maglites of Enforcement shining through the windows.
Alas, should I propose buying this thing, my wife's response would involve asking just who I plan on taking on this road trip.
Still, there's a part of me that thinks that somewhere a decade down the road high-school literature classes would be studyiing the memoir that arose from the week before my divorce…
I will note that some* years ago my wife and I were exposed** to the Maglites of Enforcement, I'm not sure whether she regards that particular occurrence with amusement or terror.
* – 'some' being a term of great breadth, I believe it was Clinton's first term.
** – 'exposed' being a term of comparable expanse, in this case it was somewhere between a loose belt buckle and what you'd observe in Baby Oil Cheerleaders #12.
Don't know how I missed this comment thread, but it's a gem.
mrkwong, the auction has ended, but never fear, this marvelous piece of automotive craftsmanship is still for sale on their website…. lol

My loins appreciate the thought.
Maybe when my wife suggests that I need a girlfriend I'll consider asking my wallet.
