<html><body>Perry, the photo of the car was not mine but was sent to me by someone who was at Conclave.

Steve /. Listers
<div>To your question about the what this build started as, its
hard to tell without more photos. I could not enlarge your
photos (a problem with my PC). Also this car may be a
collection of parts from different models. Rarely does someone
build a modified from a bone stock , well running BJ7 or BJ8 that
is worth $50K. as is.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Folks will ask why would someone build something like this but
it is a common topic in most all marque based groups. Change to the
original has been a car issue and an expected happening for more
than a 100 years. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>One of the cars in our garage is a Modified 100 and I have
been asked "why" before. Would suggest that folks take a ride
in a non-stock car just to see/feel the differences and in many
cases improvements. A V8 in a 2300 pound car will put a smile on
many (most) faces. Put 600HP in one and you feel like you just took
a ride on the best rollercoaster around. </div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Hope all well at Conclave.</div>
