Thanks for the link Tom. Great read on the history of the original car and the brothers that put it together and later improvements. I was amazed at the size of this car watching the video of the guy getting onto it.
I can honestly say this car is not my size, not even if I greased myself up...........

Perry, what memories would greasing yourself up stir?

You can buy this car if you hurry. It's up for auction on "Bring-A-Trailer".

If you skip to the later parts of this video, there's a lot of similar cars being driven fast:
