He has modified the car so that he can make long trips in it in comfort and with a great deal of reliability. He installed a 400+ HP engine with a suitable drive-train for it, AC, and very comfortable custom leather seats. Plus, I'm sure you noticed the wheels and tires.
It is not what I would have done but each person does what they want with their own car and money.
I do have the original steering shaft out of the car if someone is doing a restoration on one of these and needs it. Shipping something that long might be an issue with UPS but you can pick it up here in central IN. He asked that I pass it on to someone who was restoring a car to original.
