Danny, I believe there isn't much left of the original car only a few parts off it...it seems that the 'acid dipped' body didn't hold up the test of time...I did here several years ago that someone was helping restore it.

I think when they cut the roof off that did it in

Here is another shot, this is one of my favorite factory built cars. I am getting ready to build a 65 dodge alterd wheelbase car for a buddy and he is thinking of doing it with no roof what do you all think?

If I remember correctly the Missile was in a trailer accident and to keep running for the season they loped off the top and kept running the rest of the year.
