350-cid, OHV V-8 engine, four-speed manual transmission, suspension and four-wheel hydraulic brakes. Wheelbase: 98-inches

Built from a previously wrecked split-window coupe, Outer Limits was created by Ray Farhner, the Kansas City customizer also responsible for the Boothill Express. Its signature is the asymmetric styling, the theme beloved of Virgil Exner and practiced by a number of other customizers during the 1960s. Farhner stretched the front by some six inches, and created offset twin grilles, the left one fitted with two headlights. The rear was also asymmetrically extended, with a taillight on the right, license plate on the left and the fuel filler moved to the driver’s side. The roof ridge was removed entirely.

After moving around to several different owners, the car fell into disrepair, until discovered by Missourian Gary Logan. Logan had the body rebuilt by Randy Logan at Grain Valley Auto Body in Grain Valley, Missouri. Logan built the engine himself from a four-bolt Chevy 350, adding TRW pistons and a TO4 AiResearch turbocharger. A Muncie M-21 four-speed transmission was installed. The next owner changed the headlights to rectangular units and added side pipes. The turbocharger was also removed.

As presented, the car has brilliant white paint and matching leather interior, all in very good condition. It has a custom instrument panel with electronic gauges, a Hurst shifter and red carpet on the floor. The undercarriage is immaculate, and this unique car is ready to please audiences and its new owner alike.
