Nolan, if you buy that, you'll have to come up with something like a "Tuck N Roll" to get into and out of the car. I've developed my T N R so that I don't think I look foolish rolling out of the Speedstah, but I can see that in a few years I'll be doing the Tuck and Crawl to get my bony a$$ out of it.
Cars with rooflines below 36" should be illegal......

Yeah, like I posted in your thread, I had similar tires on mine (on smaller diameter wheels) and when I replaced them with OEM sizes, it was like it had power steering. Handling didn’t seem to suffer much, but I only drove it at 7/10th at best.

Well, I guess for bidders over at BaT, no one was quite sure what it is. The highest bidder commented that he's done his homework and he knows it's not a collector's car. He called it a 'novelty'.
Maybe that's the best take on it. I wonder how this result will affect the plans of the current project manager, who was looking for what, $150K plus a donor car to do the conversion?
Ah well, once again BaT is good for, if nothing else, cheap entertainment for those of us with limited disposable income.

Gordon, I'm only window shopping. At my age low slung cars and fast loose women are now out of my league, but one can still dream.
