Need History On This Homebuilt Roadster

I need your help. I have purchased a car from a fellow hamber that came with no do***entation. It's handmade and ***led in Edison NJ in 1972 and I'm unable to find out anything about it's history. All I have is a signed ***le and have received no response from the previous owner. I have attached pictures. It's a roadster body built on a shortened 63 galaxie frame.
This is not a kit car, it is a one of a kind, steel body car, built by an unknown master craftsman fabricator.
If you have seen it, or know of it's origins please contact me.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

master craftsman?

 

I think it was supposed say to "Master ****Sman"!!

 

you're ****ting us, right?

 

Damn buddy my **** hurts for ya.

I've seen pictures of the car, I don't know what it was made from or what its got for a drivetrain, but when I was comming up we called those abortions later they were named excalibers. You needs a big floppy hat and some gold teeth.

 

Ouch, so many comments going through my head.

Looks like it was made from a jeep cowl, windshield and half doors. Cant seem to place anything else.

 

The tailend looks very much like an Austin Healey 3000 after a hailstorm.

 

Florida Rodz RULE!!!!!!

 

I think I have his number...

He built my barbeque grill.

 

(breathe... snicker... breathe... giggle... breathe.... chuckle)

 

Yeah- it was something "Weber"....

LMAO

 

JimA, "Florida rods rule". Ummmmmmm, well - if you insist. Seriously, you feeling better now? Hope so, as ulcers **** big time!!!

 

It was, according to the first post, made in N.J.....In the 70's!

As I have always maintained...All those "Florida Rods" are from other states, and always seem to "find" there way down here.

THIS one was built here though...

 

UH....And that yellow one with the american flag louvers is from N.J. too...

 

Cant argue that

 

the PO had it listed in the cl***ifieds several times, i think the price was in the 2G range. it looks like some sort of bizzare gazelle jeep ******* child.

 

It needs an make over....yes....but it wouldn't look half bad as an Caterham (google image it) track type-ish vehicle.

The brown, roof, fenders....all the "Gazelle" stuff needs to go though.

 

Wrong its from Texas! now lives in Fla. Jesus, 2 days in a row, more Hamb Gang wars! Oh thats right I forgot that whem people imigrated to this country they went to the west coast 1st, then travelled across the nation to the east coast!

 

Love the 4 lug spare wheel on a 5 lug car....

 

Yeah the yellow car belongs to my father in law. He bought it from a Texan. Hey what can ya say we do tend to get some ugly **** here but I've seen a lot of **** come from other parts. The 34 is ugly but a very well built car. It was bought on that not how pretty it is.

 

Yeah...I think this would totally be the route to go on this one, maybe a little more track-car than Euro-Sports thing.

 

I wish...

Mine was made by torching a 55 gal drum in half...

I see a distinct family resemblence to that roadster...

 

Flat Black, red wheels and some skulls and spiderwebs thrown all over.... that thing would be coooolllllll!

 

Forgot to mention, these cars were made from about '57 or so until '72 as the "Lotus Seven", then later changed over to becoming the "Caterham Super Seven".

This...err..."Brown *******" could turn out as an somewhat tasteful combination of the older 50's Sport/Track car, and an later, little more Race/Track version.

Might take some imagination though...that IFS might be hard to clean up.

 

hehehehehehhehe oh man, brutal crowd today

 

Thank you for getting that car out of Jersey. Is that a Lincoln grill?

 

Couldnt you have a cruise in paint drive and get some paint for then louvers????
As far as the origonal post .. God dam thats an ugly ****ing car I wouldnt have that jammed up my *** and i just came from doc long fingers office for a physical.. Yes there is room now
Dave

 

I think we know why the "master craftsman"is un-named,would you admit to that????

 

I think....its the brown, fenders, roof, running boards, and grill shell that mostly make it look rough.

 

You need to glue some corn kernals on that. It'd still look ****ty, but it'd be traditional ****ty.
