Not the first I've ever seen like that. Once in Daytona on the beach and once cruising the cruise circuit in NJ for a custom body shop.

reminds me of the time I saw a late 60’s Mustang with a 12” lift kit....

No worries about bottoming out on potholes and speed bumps, though....

There is one of those in Duluth MN with a C3 body. It's a mid 70's I think but I haven't seen it for a while so can't be certain.

This might look kinda hackish to some people from looking at it on the outside but it's actually a pretty serious build with a lot of time and money involved.

These are not my pictures. This is from a build that I followed on another board.

Still a work in progress.
