Seriously, there are no pics in the in the 'gallery' on the website.

and no no updates in years it seems. So, how many got built beyond the prototype is the question.
Maybe someone here can answer that. |
Yeah -- I noticed that too…. There's just so many "decent" kit cars out there - and let's be honest -- most people just want to parade around in these like hot rods -- most don't track them - so frankly - the handling issues don't mean much.
They are - without a doubt - one of the coolest looking machines on the planet - perhaps in the Universe (I laugh every time I post that). It's really too bad that they don't handle well enough for Joe average guy to be able to enjoy them. But then again - I guess we could say that about a lot of cars… and we all just seem to manage to improve them until they do! So I guess a guy could do that with one of these.
I'd put an LS motor in one… take the weight off the nose -- keep the power down to 430 hp (base LS) -- nice 5 speed… some gears.. side exhaust… and get somebody that knows how to make 'em drive…
If only they didn't look so funky with that aftermarket top! Cause that not having a top thing is really a PITA. I know this after driving my '32!!
