The body is smooth as glass, the paint shines like new. The cab is a Wescott, it was ordered with the 32 style dash to install the gauges used and went with 29 style doors for inside handles. The bed is Brookville Steel, with hidden latches, has a maple bed floor that accents the red color and chrome strips to finish. The front clip is of an unknown manufacturer but is steel. It does have the Rootlieb style 3 way hood and removable side panels to show off the engine at shows. It has a chrome waterfall grill w/ hidden turn signals along the sides. The tail lights are led and molded into the body for a clean look. It even has a fold up license plate to show off the rear end at shows. The headlight setup is the smaller style w/ H4 modern lenses for better visibility at night. All fenders and running boards are steel. It has never had a top installed. There are a couple of small chips along the top of the side panels, someone used the drivers running board and a tiny scuff on the leading edge of the left fender.
The engine and transmission is the difference for the true Hot Rodder that wants that one off car. This is a Donovan Model "D" block and head, there is a folder included in the car with pictures and information on the engine. The top end is a rare REM twin cam setup, the man that built these only made 10 (from my research). The block has ribbed side covers, it has an oil pump that runs off the cam drive and it has ceramic coated headers. There is an electric water pump and electric fan to cool it and it has Evan's Lifetime coolant. It had sat in the garage for a couple of years after the owner passed, I changed the oil, filter, drained the fuel tanks and put in 98 octane gas, installed a new battery and fired it up. This thing sounds incredible, something like a cross between an Indy and Sprint car. I tried to find out approximate hp with no luck, it does respond when you step on the pedal.
