As I understand it, it had been damaged. Basically everything from the wheel wells forward was gone, and the basic body shape was creatively reworked by the current owner using 3/4" (I think) square tubing. Ice racer it was destined to be.

You could part that thing out and make a killing...

I wish I could find an unregisterable FD for that cheap, I'd love to have a "track only" car...
