I'm selling this car for my 85-year-old father who had to wait 4 1/2 years to get it built and prefers to drive something more comfortable now. The full story is below.

Suicide doors have no handles
but spring open using remote control keychain.

Gently close the trunk lid and it automatically sucks itself down into locked position.
Painted side stripes add a classy look.

This car was built by Ed Gleason of Ed's Body Shop in Tooelle, Utah, who has built a number of custom cars and restored some vintage models worth over $200,000. The project was begun in 2000 and took 4 1/2 years to finish. By the time it was done my father was in his 80s and having physical difficulties, so he only drove the car around the block a few times a year. Knowing he would be selling the car he thought the new owner would prefer to choose how the interior would be done. One of his short drives was to a nearby car show where this car won Best Hot Rod even with the interior unfinished.

The milage on the odometer shows about 480 miles now, but that is because it racked up mileage at four times what it actually is till we calibrated the speedometer a few miles ago. Actual milage is about 150. The fuel gauge needs to be calibrated, which hasn't been done because one needs to drive out a full tank of gas to do that. The gauge can read either gallons remaining or percent of remaining fuel. The stereo plays both cassettes and CDs. All the paper work regarding parts is available. The car has been licensed and inspected, and we'll throw in a cloth car cover.

The vehicle is located in Salt Lake City, Utah. Feel free to call Dan at 801 618-5109 if you have any questions.

Thanks for your interest :)
