Wow, that is very well done.
Your link isn’t working for me but I found out on search here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/162500511208
I’m disappointed there’s no interior shots of the rear.
Thanks Seth. Link fixed.
The theme for this one is “punch it Chewie!”
Looks like the pictures from the ad are from 2010. I have requested some more recent ones.
From the seller:
Most of the work was done by Tavis Highlander, a locally noteworthy automotive artist in Longview Washington. I replaced the original SRT8 with a new one in 2014, using a long block from Arington Engineering in Virginia. The engine was hand built here in Washington, and dyno tuned by Blood Automotive. Arington used to build race engines for Richard Petty when he was with MOPAR. You can find out more about the car and Tavis by Googling 1953 Willys SRT8. This car is fairly well known, and is recognized all the time at car shows by readers of Hot Rod Magazine.
