They don't even say whether it was a fiberglass or aluminum body.

It appears to be aluminum if you look at the door sill but not sure.

Lots of tell tales for glass.
Must be a handful to drive.

Hmm, 64 miles since built in 2008. That’s a bit more than 5 miles driven ever year. Maybe it is a handful to drive.

That, or still working out the new build "bugs".....

Or, the car was built as a "what if we do this" type of build for an owner who has it up on a pedestal as the centerpiece of his or her collection. Having bought in to the original "investment quality" advertising of that time period.

We may never know.

Regardless, it's a unique build in it's own right, would love to have a chance to drive that one and see how it compared to Peters old SOHC powered ERA.

Exactly my thought in my earlier statement about Peter's SOHC ERA.
