Chassis, body and engine:

according to my mechanic, an old sprint car man, it is either a Stanton or Stewart Silver Crown chassis with downtubes and cage removed and capped
body is fiberglass, fuel cell is under the rear cowl (filler under flap near roll hoop)
has a short 6" detachable plexi windshield not shown in all pics as I was getting it replaced
interior has two seat cushions to choose from and is a little tight for me but I can drive it (I'm 6' and 250lbs with 32" inseam)
has Simpson race harness seat belts
engine is a 225 cubic inch Chrysler slant-6 (so it will probably never die!)
auto transmission is shifted from a lever on the left side and is a GM 2-speed power-glide
newer carb with Edelbrock air filter housing
electric fuel pump
beautiful slotted aluminum mags
power disc brakes in front, drums in rear
the gas and brake pedals are essentially movable panels / levers in the footwells (left foot braking)
Hoosier tires are in good shape overall - fronts are newer
has ignition key, start button, full Autometer gauges, hi/lo headlights, tail and brake lights, turn signals, horn etc
Hi-Lo beam switch, horn and turn signals controlled by a motorcycle switchgear set to the left side of cockpit
LED on dash reminds you if signals are on
removable steering wheel like any sprint car!
electric fan in nose cowl with fan on-indicator LED on dash
exhaust header is custom made and sounds wonderful

Overall cosmetic and mechanical condition:

paint is white with some "pearlescence" to it
chrome generally good, few spots from some cleaner or something
aluminum wheels nice with few spots, may just be hard water marks and may polish out
just been checked out by a hot rod mechanic set the carbs, changed the fluids and who test drove it....I have also driven it
engine starts easily and runs well, shifts, drives and brakes well, electrics and lighting all work
no "neutral starter switch" or emergency brake (be careful to start it in park)
cosmetic condition is excellent, garage kept for whole life
chassis / underbody very clean
running gear is solid and tight
needless to say, a real head-turner and always draws a crowd!
