Details by Seller
This car was just finished a couple months ago and has had nothing spared to make it as close to the original car as possible.

It was built by Vintage Motorcars and had been a dream of mine that became a reality but I have too many cars.
Vehicle has exposed aluminum flooring and no carpet just like and original would and other touches such as aluminum inside doors.

Most of these cars have carpet on firewall behind seats but I wanted Red leatherette just like the original “Little Bastard” so we went with it.

The handmade chassis was powdercoated silver also just like the real deal 550 that James Dean had.
I drive this car on weekends so mileage will go up but right now it’s 980KM

And much more….
Also these cars are built with a bump in body just below gas tank that sometimes interferes with your space if your a tall guy with a large foot (this was custom shaved on this car) So no bump.
The drivers seat was mounted the floor just like the passenger seat but to gain some room for taller people and shifter was mounted almost 2″ to the right for extra room as well.

This car gets more looks then any car I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned many great cars.
It is very fast and very fun. Only serious interest please.
