I cant remember his name from memory. I'm going to have to go through alot of paperwork to find his name again. Then I guess I'll solve the puzzle & it will be a puzzle that awards no points. The key element that is missing is the original craigslist ad for the car....thus only the very few who saw the original listing, know the name of the original builder. It obviously re-surfaced on craigslist under another persons ownership.

This car was built in 1986 by Ward O. Curtis...it was built on a custom frame with the rear being made from a 1974 VW Super Beetle, front suspension was made from a 1970 ball joint front suspension. Ward drove the car for 27 years & has since sold the car & lost track of the car.

No wonder he found it so easy!  ;D
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Well, it didn't even seem to be that easy.

Actually, no

In the primordial ooze that was was AutoPuzzles way back in 2006, when there were few members, and even fewer actively engaged in the puzzles, some puzzle answers were 'revealed', in order to have some sort of updates ongoing.

A tip of the AutoPuzzles Editor's cap to ValkyrieGT, for keeping it real, and for channeling the early essence of the site.  :thumbsup:

During the time we were trying to solve this puzzle, it was being listed on ebay.  In July 2014, it sold for $6,900 dollars.  Nice craftsmanship:
