For sale is the Ridler competitor and "Best in Class" award winning "Lady Diamond". Craftsmanship like no other, near perfection in every way. Commissioned as a 3 year project for the express effort to win at the prestigious "World of Wheels" show in Detroit. You will not ever see this quality under 6 figures. No expense spared. I located the car in a private collection about 3 years ago and had it brought to St. Louis. The gentleman's collection was the best quality 30+ cars I have ever seen. He never showed it but the original owner/builder did tour it around the country for 1 year after winning the Ridler award. It currently has 6400 miles on it. Now for the details: Gibbons body. 2 door. Rootlieb hood and metal running boards. Paint is "Black Ice Diamond" 2002 Mercedes color. It has a deep purple/blue tint to it in the sun. The paint is MINT! Not one rock chip anywhere and that includes the frame. Yes, the frame is perfect, custom built and painted everywhere. If not painted, it's powder coated. I have included what photo's I can but have 70 or so more if you want to have them sent. O'Connell Specialties in Plainfield, Il. was the builder. GM ZZ4 crate motor, aluminum heads,350 ci, 355 hp. Centerforce, Hayes clutch. 6 Speed manual T56 transmission. Ford 9" rear w 355 gears. Wilwood 4 wheel power disc brakes. Heidt's rack and pinion power steering. Heidt's suspension - front independent "Super Ride", rear - 4 bar / panhard bar / coilover shocks. Leather interior, power windows, rear seat fold down storage, Pioneer stereo, Fosgate speakers, Vintage heat and air, console with lights, door open lights, billet steering wheel, accelerator pedal, etc., 1 extra set of unused floor mats, cup holders, car show door open bars, tilt column, high/low beams on column, turn signal indicators in headlights, full gauges and tach (all work perfectly). Car runs fantastic and could go anywhere in the USA today. I have stainless exhaust cutouts on the car as well in case you desire a more robust throat, but cruising, she is as quiet as a new car. The lady has won every show I have taken her to in the last 2 years locally. When you see the underside, the wiring, the paint, you will understand!I cannot stress the quality enough. I have bought or built over 100 cars in 40 years, and this one is the finest. I urge you to have an appraisal serviceview the car and I have a lift in my man cave/shop they can use. Look closely at the underside photo's to see all the stainless. paint and powdercoat. I wish it were cleaner in the photo's but I am working on a super rare 57 Nomad and have less than 8 weeks to finish so I am out of "cleaning time". Also included with car isnew rear bumper and rear pan if you want to change it to more traditional look, travel bra for front (I always use it) and custom built car cover. There are side curtains for the engine bay, metal, painted and perfect. Car comes with 2 remote key fobs. You can see more photo's by contacting me through E-Bay.
