The Savonuzzi designed, Ghia built body was originally fitted to a Fiat 8V chassis. John Willment found the discarded body in a junkyard and married it to a leftover 427 Cobra competition chassis. A Holman-Moody 427 with twin four barrels was fitted for propulsion. Willment lost interest before the project was completed and sold it. The car has bounced around since then and has never been fully sorted out. It is the only Cobra coupe that has never seen a racetrack. This may be a good thing.

and this:
