<VV> custom 4 door '66 convertible - any first hand knowledge?

[Lite Trix Inc.]

Saw car and met seller. His grandfather built it. Seller is trying to save his house. Grandfather dying in hospital and wife has MS. 

About the car. Gas tank in trunk. Custom duct from front custom grill thru car between seats to above engine. Made because car overheated in parades. Engine runs but needs tuneup. Interior seats recovered. Didn't look underneath at actual seats. He extended top rack about 6 inches and had top made special for 4 door length. Dashboard not Corvair. Don't remember whose. One of taillights has hole. Terminal block hooks up taillights to wire harness. Funky box under dash holds cassettes for radio and has speaker on either side.

Would trust seller but it's in need of work.

I remember seeing this car written up in the Communique several years ago.  
I'm not sure if it was right after he built it or if he just submitted an  
article about it.  It would have been within the last 12 years.  I'm not a  
fan of the custom lights, either, but I suppose it could be put back easily  
enough.

Don't know the car but the usual warning about buying a car on ebay from a  
seller with no feedback
