I have no connection to the car, just like it and think with a solid paint job, ERCO's and a big turbo motor plus lights and insurance, would be a real cool Unlimited Street car.  Hope it goes to a good home

I think it is a good deal and comes with a lot of extra parts.  But man o man is that thing OLD!  Is it a pan or tube chassis?

IT did have a turbo motor and a powerglide many years ago, when it was High Steppin.  The problem with it now is that it has no good way to support the frame horns unless it had a regular cage.

THIS is the one I'd go with...can't believe somebody out there hasn't snatched this thing up yet.

BTW, I saw High Steppin back in the day, with the turbo motor; that thing was awesome. The guy that has it now is cool, Me and Upton talked to him several times at different shows. He's always great to bench race with.

What kind of powerglide was in this car? One from a Corvair? How did they adapt it to the VW engine?
