Old Yeller Race car

Very high quality parts used in the build. The car was built about 2000. Currently owned for 10 years. It is thought that the owner built the car as a modern version of Old Yeller. The car is titled as a 1955 Austin Healey likely do to a donor car for the windshield, which is an original 100-4 Windshield frame. The car is in running and driving condition. Very cool and interesting car done well.
