Do I see roll bars in the back of that thing? Seat belts maybe?
But it is a very sweet ride!

It's an absolutely beautiful car.
IMO- the 17" wheels hurt the look. Not to scale.... LOL
No Donk please.

Yeah, that's a roll bar.Do I see roll bars in the back of that thing? Seat belts maybe?

Here's an article on the car;

But the car is evolving.
In the article, it has a 5 speed.
It definitely now has a 6 speed.

My dad had a 1968 Buick GS Stage 1 (455/480 HP) that was basically the same body. These cars looked fast standing still and boy, when you stood on it, people for blocks around knew you were serious!

I think the 18"s are some concession to occasionally doing this.
Compared to some cars I see at Downers Grove Cruise night, with the Coddington/billet wheels, Brent's car looks pretty subdued
