Update

The seller decided that he did not want to part with the car so he pulled out of the deal. Life goes on!!

To bad Al, that would have been a great car to have.

I agree, i am in communication with the seller. If he changes his mind he said that he would contact me. One can hope!

The car shipped this AM, the seller decided to sell it after all. It should be here Friday, 21 February. I can't wait to see this car!!! I will post the New Era Dragster build manual here in the document section and post pix of the build. Awesome!
