Is this yours?

 

I live close to this car. Not sure of the history. The guy that owns it seems like a good guy. It sold once on ebay a little while ago and then the guy who won the car tried to dick the guy on the price. Is it still for sale? It looks like it is a new front straight axle in the car. From talking with the owner he said that the car was pink when it was raced? Definately could be saved.
