    Awesomeness. I know just the place you could ride that with semi-reckless abandon . . .

    Methinks only shame is GM had such a nice swing but no follow-through. It looks oh, so well-balanced and purposeful.

    Bought it at Gooding Auction. Very comfortable ride. Split rear with ultra low range and 2W/4W drive system. Very well built 450HP Ron Falconer Chevy. Massive cooling. Auto with Hurst shifter.

    So awesome.. I saw this vehicle covered by a lifestyle/automotive blog a while back and thought it was one of the coolest things I had seen in a while. Glad it ended up with you!

    Asbury Park NJ has a Zombie Walk on October 30. Maybe you should apply to be Grand Marshall or something. Don't tell them the plan is to kill all the zombies.

    As with many race cars Boot was modified along the way. It was a two car team but Boot 2 had a different rear and nose.
