    Just turn the tank 90*, instant room for hood n grill/shell.
    Sure wish more detail pics were available. Not too many different frame-styles used, but loads of ways of mounting things. Details, details... :D .

    Here is one we found in Southern Il. With help from Marcus (nrgwizard) verified that it is a Speedway VX23. Car is a complete time capsule with some add ons by prior owners. They added front brakes, coil overs, and front bumper. Doubt that frame is chromemoly and don’t how to tell if it is. After driving this a few miles to local show, would think Dragmaster version with no front brakes and skinny tires would be a real handful. The white one with cowl steering and metalwork under bed is really nice. 91332630-BE7B-440D-AE72-ECDDAE121A87.jpeg A9E150CE-BC6B-4E50-A4EC-513DE7CB3616.jpeg 65C390C8-13D5-4378-8C32-79D710B88C3E.jpeg DAF27BD4-A99E-4748-842B-688F3528A15C.jpeg

    This is our listing/car. Was hoping someone would post the listing here or off topic Craigslist finds. So thank you A*****. Car is 100% all there, no looking for hard to find parts. Have top irons, but canvas is shot, can be used for a pattern. Front H/A calipers need to be rebuilt. These, especially in this condition, don't show up very often. Think it is priced fairly, if you disagree with pricing, feel free to make an offer. Prefer that it goes to a good home and am interested in what you guys think.

    Andy Brizio's wifes'(Sue???) VolksRod.
    Wondered what happened to it, always hoped it survived. Glad it did.
    One of the nicest, second only(maybe) to Kent Fuller's personal ride.

    Would be nice with some torque thrusts on the back! That's sweet and the leg room doesn't look all that bad?
