It's HEMI powered and was built in '53 for the Air Force.
It actually says it has an air force ID tag on the dash. So I don't know if it was "built" for the air force...

Ok, in all seriousness whats y'all's opinion on this one.

Chassis is like a Twisted Customs (Built by Rich Schmaus, every bit as good as Paule)
All aluminum 5.3 V8 (out of an Chevy SSR)
TH350
Atlas 3.8
Master Craft Seats
Walker Evans Wheels and Shocks
37" Trepadors - ( it will fit 39's)
Steering Dana 60's front and rear.
4340 AMERICAN made shafts (Superior / Ouverson)
300m Ujoints (Longs / CTMS)
1" Heim Joints
Airbumps in the front (have them for the rear if interested...just have not put them on yet)
Swaybar in the back.
Ron Davis Radiator

Whats not there - Plumbing for the rear stear...in the process of taking it off for competing in Pro Mod next season.

red and white buggy

I'd put some '39 Creepies on it, and replumb the rearsteer and have a silly rec rig. I'm waiting for some more pics and closer up pics. Price is definately at the high end of my range, but my range is actually kinda low for what I want. Sorry I'm a cheap ass.

that's about a 30K buggy if the fit and finish are there.
what does he mean by oveursons in it? rock shafts in the rear?

I'm not sure, it is a rear stear 60 axle with a lockout bar on it right now. I'll find out about the Oversons. He has all the stuff to plumb it back up for rearsteer but the cylinder needs rebuilt as it has a leaky seal. And new mounts will be needed for the pump as he removed them when he went with the aluminum 5.3.
The second pic is prolly the best for how it currently sits as its missing some of the tubework in the 1st pic according to him.

As for a 30k buggy, maybe, but the pics I've seen are all from a long ways away.
