You can never tell for sure based on ebay pics, but that looks like a fairly nicely done conversion. Do you know the owner/converter?

I think it looks like a good conversion but I would want to better understand what he did to the frame. I looks like he built a new x member just below the original frame. If so this car will always have a high stance.

I noticed that too Dale... i think it's more than just the cross member... looked to me like there's square tube under the original frame as well -- sort of a frame on top of a frame.

No, I know nothing about this car.
I just ran across it posted on BCF, so I posted over here.
