Is this the one that Hot Rod tried to run at the track but it had nothing but problems?

If so then maybe he will run me for pink slips.. lol

There are some really nice touches on that car.. but 1.3 million bucks? Uh.. no...

yup, pretty sure this was it... I believe the response from the builder was that the driver (who as I recall was a professional race car driver) did not know what he was doing? entertaining none the less

Doesn't hold a candle to the Ringer Bros' car. Does that mean it's worth 1.4m?

All that work only to be outfitted with off the shelf Lokar pedal covers. Not a bunch of attention to detail. If that car is 1.3mil, Rodger's 57 truck is 12 mil.
