    it is a local car, just the history of the guy that ran it. who was a corvette guy, last name king from trenton OH. the auction company said they had some old pics on file from when he ran the car so i will post those when i get them in

    That would be a Modified Roadster body. No roof. Great score though.

    Now all you need to do is build a Slingshot to mount it on.

    I would hope any HAMB guy out of grade school would know the difference between a coup and a roadster.

    i was under the assumption that any car body on a dragster declared it a comp coupe, my mistake. i fully know the difference between a coupe and roadster body. thanks though

  18. I was going to say the same thing. Never the less going fast is going fast and that is a pretty cool piece of history for the price.
