The car weighs very little. It can launch excitingly, which was phenomenal at that time.
My friend builds cars to the customer's spec, and by far the hardest part is not the modern parts the customer wants. The hard part is the rest of the car....the original parts. Finding them can be near impossible. One of the cars he is working on now is One of 233 made. He built a '53 Ford pickup all-original for himself. ALL original. But that's not what customers want, generally.

Ive only driven a 36’ chevy truck… have about 500 miles behind the wheel towing a teardrop trailer.
I have to agree that it was not much fun at all. Hot, loud and uncomfortable (I’m 6’4”).
