It is very unusual, perhaps unique. I have to say the most annoying thing about that auction is there are no interior or underhood pics. Not a sincere attempt to sell something.

The guy wrote in the description: "Total attention getter."

That may be the understatement of the year but what kind of attention they get is a different thing.

Not even a good GT clone from Greenwood...(Greenwood did not patent the GT,and everybody and their brother copied it...) This one is a fake..look at the fit at the drivers door..dead give away..

One of a kind, sure is. Sounds like that ole Jonny Cash song, he got that Cadillac "one part at a time". However they were different year models.

That car sucks. Greenwood and his accociates were a bunch of deadbeats. That bunch of bandits cost me a great race car. Could be why I dont like Cailloways either or however you spell it as being another Vette modifier.
