Chassis, body and engine:

• according to my mechanic, an old sprint car man, it is either a Stanton or Stewart Silver Crown chassis with downtubes and cage removed and capped
• body is fiberglass, fuel cell is under the rear cowl (filler under flap near roll hoop)
• has a short 6" detachable plexi windshield not shown in all pics as I was getting it replaced
• interior has two seat cushions to choose from and is a little tight for me but I can drive it (I'm 6' and 250lbs with 32" inseam)
• has Simpson race harness seat belts
• engine is a 225 cubic inch Chrysler slant-6 (so it will probably never die!)
• auto transmission is shifted from a lever on the left side and is a GM 2-speed power-glide
• newer carb with Edelbrock air filter housing
• electric fuel pump
• beautiful slotted aluminum mags
• power disc brakes in front, drums in rear
• the gas and brake pedals are essentially movable panels / levers in the footwells (left foot braking)
• Hoosier tires are in good shape overall - fronts are newer
• has ignition key, start button, full Autometer gauges, hi/lo headlights, tail and brake lights, turn signals, horn etc
• Hi-Lo beam switch, horn and turn signals controlled by a motorcycle switchgear set to the left side of cockpit
• LED on dash reminds you if signals are on
• removable steering wheel like any sprint car!
• electric fan in nose cowl with fan on-indicator LED on dash
• exhaust header is custom made and sounds wonderful

Overall cosmetic and mechanical condition:

• paint is white with some "pearlescence" to it
• chrome generally good, few spots from some cleaner or something
• aluminum wheels nice with few spots, may just be hard water marks and may polish out
• just been checked out by a hot rod mechanic set the carbs, changed the fluids and who test drove it....I have also driven it
• engine starts easily and runs well, shifts, drives and brakes well, electrics and lighting all work
• no "neutral starter switch" or emergency brake (be careful to start it in park)
• cosmetic condition is excellent, garage kept for whole life
• chassis / underbody very clean
• running gear is solid and tight
• needless to say, a real head-turner and always draws a crowd!
