    Front end looks like a cross between a Glaspar and a Woodill Wildfire with a touch of Victress thrown in. The rear looks like one person let their imagination go wild.[​IMG]

    The front fenders look like old spiderwebbed fiberglass to me.

    There are more pictures of it on the guy's website: http://eddytheb.com/for-sale/?nggpage=3&pid=1966

    It has a SBF, looks to have a VW wheel/column and maybe a middle/late 50's vette frame under it.

    59 sunbeam windshield, mid 50s ford full size car frame cut down, fiberglass body, various other assorted "late model" parts added....sounds like a typical low production run cheezy kit car from 50 years ago. Amazing it survived, hopefully someone will get it and fix it up and drive it around.
     
  14. 1959-1960 build, gauging from some of the parts seen so far. Butt-ugly...but COOL!

    Thunderbird scoop, too.

    Narrow-ass hood! It would have to be a Six or even a Four to be able to access anything.

    No to the four or six. It has a SBF in it. Check out the pictures in the link I posted above.

    Notice the price for Star Chief gasoline on the sign in the background...
    I paid almost that plus $4.00 today...I'm just sayin'...
    Oh, sorry no ideas regarding the car...
     
  18. Maybe Rikster would know? Either or it is pretty cool in it's own right.
