I believe this is the car you mean. I don't quickly find any other photos on this site and doubt if there are many more still around unless someone managed to save them on their computer or they wound up in an internet archive somewhere. The car was well covered and several photos were available on Craig Hendricson's 56 Panther website but when Craig died his site eventually went away.
Paul had done some extensive and unique mods. A few that come to mind were a trunk AC with some modified but custom looking vents, hydraulic power brakes that I believe had a crankshaft operated pump with the unit mounted under the car and a standard shift overdrive transmission that was operated by push buttons. I think I remember the trans was operated by custom actuators controlled by the PBs and the shifting was done via air pressure. . No idea if Paul is still around but as the other thread mentions, after the car was wrecked he had no desire to rebuild it.
