what you say is true,,,,however I would be willing to bet that there has  
been frame connectors added to this car, the times that it is turning means that  
it is hooking up, and to do so means that the frame has been modified to 
accept  the HP that it now has, and without them it would have already been  
self-destructed

Just  My Two Cents for what it's worth, I would be very leery of this car!
The  wheel wells are cut out!! Our cars are unibody construction and the
wheel  wells are a necessary part of of the body for support of the front
frame.  In time stress cracks will form, front fenders will ripple & buckle
and  ultimately it will tear its self apart. Or maybe it already has  as
reflected in the price! Believe it or not on 62s the fins in the  front
fenders will actually slow the process down because of the added  support
they provide. Time Will tell!!  Years ago a friend of mine did  the same
thing to a 1967 Formula S Barracuda to reduce weight.  I  warned him of a
potential problem and he scoffed at my suggestion and cut  them out.  He
installed a high horse 440 and a few years later he was  looking for a new
body because he was tired of stop drilling & welding  up cracks in the floor
and body.  The car actually had a bow to it and  the windshield cracked or
should I say more than one of them did.  He  to the end said the windshields
were not installed  correctly.

The guy  selling it generally says a crowd always forms around the car in the
pits.  What is that! :) 

Thanks for pointing out the ebay listing. It would be  much fun to see this
62 Valiant Signet 200 going against some Max Wedge  B's!
