My father purchased this car about 20 years ago from the person who custom built it.  My father has now passed away and my mother is selling it because it is just too fast of a car for her to drive.  This thing will put you in the back seat if you floor it, just unbelievable power.  As you can see it has smaller tires and wheels on the front and massive ones on the back.  The rear of the car has been customized for them to fit.  I don't know a whole lot else about the custom work other than it was top notch and this car has won a big trophy at every show we have taken it to which has not been many.  My father was a private person, so this was never shown off or featured in a magazine or anything.  Most of the world has never seen this car, so it would be really nice to see it go to a home where someone will take it out and show it off because it truly is a masterpiece.
When we put the car up on the lift, we did notice some misc very minor leaks which is common with these old cars.  One near the fuel pump and one near the fuel tank and one coming from the engine somewhere but could not tell.  Again, they are all so minor that there are no puddles under the car or anything like that.
I want to stress that this is a 100% show car or what most people would call a "Trailer Queen".  It can of course be driven, but it shouldn't be.  It sits so low to the ground that if you went over a speed bump it would probably hit. Not to mention the fact it probably gets about 5 miles to the gallon.
Also, the car has no ignition/keyed switch.  There are a series of switches in the center console to start it and it has a secret security measure to start it which will only be told to the buyer.  No inside door handles and no side mirrors.
If you have any questions, please contact us or call my mother, Brenda at 909 84one, zero290. Thanks.

UPDATE: WHEN PULLING CAR OUT THE OTHER DAY TO ANSWER A QUESTION FOR SOMEONE, THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE WAS STUCK ON A LITTLE.  CAR STILL MOVES FINE BUT A LITTLE DRAG LIKE CALIPER IS STICKING.  NOTHING MAJOR JUST AN FYI AS WE WILL NOT BE FIXING THAT.
