Car was purchased specifically to become a track car. It had less than 2K miles on it when submitted for its first conversion, which was suspension and brakes, soon followed by a Dinon stage highest upgrade, Car is not suitable for street use (read description). I'm now retiring and need to move the car.

Based on inquiries I would like to add the following:

This is a purpose built track car.
  • It has no interior panels or headliner (flammable).
  • It has no A/C
  • it is to low to drive on the street.
  • It is to loud to drive on the street.
  • It has track seats.
  • It will not pass emissions for street licensing in any state. (In Texas in 2030 that would not Be required))
Reversion to a street car seems an unworthy application of this motorcar.
