"Found this on the web anyone know anything about it?"


Nope, without the motor and such, it looks like just another ordinary '63 Tempest

Strange what a certain set of numbers in a VIN can do to a car.

Leader Automotive...that car was a Division 3 regular if I recall, and I think George DeLorean may have been loosely tied with it. Steve, any info? That's an early 70's shot, by the way.

"LEADER Automotive" car was Georges car. A 68 GTO body w/RAIV-428 engine.

George only had the car a couple years before selling it. So I'd guess very early 70's pic

Driven by Ed Lee.

I don't know much about the "Leader Auto" car other than what has been said. Here is a pic I found in my files with the body up. It is blown and engine looks like a Pontiac, stock valve covers, etc.
The heads tuck inside the chassis making it an earlier design and it probably has rear susp ( a probable guess).
Me thinks the Dick Seargent funny could be the same car as the Leader. Or possibly the body by the same mold.?

Leader funny: Chassis looks l....o....n....g... to me with motor rather forward from what I remember of early 70's funnies.

I think that Leader GTO is one of the best looking funnies I've ever seen. Love the white with gold lettering/trim.

I just saw that. I think the seller is dreaming, especially in this economy. I wasn't impressed with some of the things done during the resto either.
