This looks like an amazing build, if you’re into screaming green!
It’s surprising how few pictures the seller put in the ad for this type of car, but we found more on the interwebs. This thing is likely fun, but what’s up with the automatic trans? Drag racing, or just a strange choice?
Update: It turns out this one went across the block at Barrett Jackson Reno/Tahoe in August (click link for details). Selling price was $14,300, with no reserve.
