makes me wonder if this Aerocoupe Grand National ever got finished. Last I recall it was in flat black and he was short on funds so he was going to back burner the car. User was turbo1 or something like that

I’ve never really cared for theaerocoupes, hope he got it finished. I like unique/what the factory didn’t do.

Looks like an altered wheelbase like some of the first funny cars.

It was altered : 19" was cut out of the middle, eliminating most of the rear door opening. When it was done, 52% of the total weight was over the rear axle.

I kinda figured something was different about the wheelbase. I noticed it immediately.

Chris,
I remember that build as well. He was doing quite a hell of job on it. I thought it was very cool and different.
