I still need to sit down and go through the receipts but these are the highlights. If you have any questions just ask.

This car had one purpose for being built and that was: My father always wanted to build a car that would scare the chit out of him. He got it done. This car is very managable on the street, and wild when you want it to be. It is a pleasure to drive and handles like on rails. You always have to be on your toes when driving it.

Only two people have ever driven this car. That is myself and my father. He has put a majority of the miles on it. He sold it to me because, he felt it was getting to hard for him to handle. He was 71 at the time he sold it to me.

That is cool as hell that your father got to build his dream car and enjoy it for a while. I hope we can all end up lucky like that some day. :D
 
damn nice car. Love the FFR stuff, even visited the factory once in MA. Good luck with the sale...
 
I wish you luck with your sale. After reading that, I think it would be very hard to sell it IMO.
 
I'd have a drivers license for about 48hrs after owning this. Glws!

I can tell you it was a blast to listen and watch him build this car. I mechanic for a living and he would not let me turn a wrench on it. He WANTED to build it himself. I drilled one hole for him and that was the only work I did on it. I was the first to drive it in the go cart stage. He didn't trust himself yet. He still enjoys riding in the car, and I enjoy reminding him why he built it. The saddest part for me is, he won't drive it at all any more.

It is with his blessing that the car is for sale, he understands the reasons, and it has been a hard decision to put her up for sale.

I hope I can build my dream someday, what ever that may be....

Amazing story man! I'm sure your memories and your fathers memories are worth much more than you'll ever get in cash value for this car! Is your father still with you?
 
Yep, he is still around. Travels between FL and OK homes with mom. Enjoy every chance I get to with them.

The car looks and drives great. This last winter I put on a Metco driveshaft hoop and new driveshaft that was balanced and welded by Power Drive in Wichita KS. I upgraded the oil filter adapter for the remote filter and oil cooler. The paint is gorgeous in the sun light and the black cherry pops. In average to poor light the car looks black. There are a couple of flaws in the paint but a buffing would cure them. There is a spider crack at the passenger hood latch. It has not grown since 2012. I do drive it occasionally but not enough. I’m selling for an investment and because I don’t drive it enough to enjoy it due to the fact I have too many other toys.
