Because it was made for the Movie Ironman. It was going to be crushed by Ironman, Robert Downey Jr, in the scene where he falls through the roof of his house and crashes into the basement onto his 65 Cobra.
Two cars were made for the movie. The shooting went correctly the first time and they did not need to crush the second one. I bought number 2 at Mecum last year where is was for sale with its crushed counterpart. Junk suspension was used to build the car because it was more or less going to be destroyed anyway.
