true, true, but before it got that there chubby in it , it sat in the woods for 8 years before the present owner found it, and had a tree growing through one of the cylinder holes of the blowed up 318 that was in it.
i was not even aware that it made its way back to jersey. the last i had heard of it, it was in ohio. then my buddy calls me one day with the news he found it in the woods less than 2 miles from where it was built.

I remember seeing that ford buggy in some car shows, they were talking about building it but I guess we get no such luck, I may have bought one if they were fair priced.
