So...... the long awaited answer The Zwitter will ride again. All of the issues with the body have been fixed, correctly this time, and the car is currently painted. Here are some pictures of it in primer. I will have some painted pictures shortly. It will be on a full tube chassis with a CB Performance 2005cc engine. So that means the 52 chassis(believe it or not it was on a 52 chassis), 52 front seats and the (Mr Okrasa) Joe Ruiz built December 1952 engine will all be sold off.

Is the chassis currently for sale? Thanks _________________ '63 OG 117 Herbie Replica

You should contact him directly, he is not guaranteed to see some random Forum post.

If you want to know if a store sells something, do you put a sign in their parking lot or do you go into the store and ask? _________________ How to Post Photos

Kind of confirms that this car was a rusty Zwitter that someone pieced back together using an oval body as a donor. Very poorly. _________________ Chris

So the owner that paid $70K for it, did they lose about $60K on the deal? _________________ Good Luck

Is Chris Vallone still posting on thesamba? Or has he moved on? or indicted?
If so what is his Samba name/avatar? _________________ .

From what I heard from the guy that discovered the disaster build, the owner did not proceed legally but he still is a POS |
