It is listed has body only, the motor is not with vehicle.
As a hot rodder I can see what happen. Body sitting around the shop and you keep looking at it and start thinking, Nothing invested in car, no title, let me try doing something different.
when the motor was placed in bay I am sure this is when the dream went south.
Actualy it would not be a bad rod if they extended the cowl, cut off the front and install a 30s ford front end on it, Bring wheel wells forward,open them up so tops of wide 26" Micky Thompson tires are breaking out of fenders, keep it low, small block with chrome, wide white walls and baby moons, deck the windsheild about 2".
Make perfect sense to the non purist, hot rodder
