From what I have seen it would be BTM. I met Robert Auxier at Barrett Jackson in 2005 when he was still building the cars out of a shop behind his residential house. The cars looked amazing and very period correct with updated chassis materials.

At the time he told me I could buy one for $40K without an engine... I should have done it... I just visited tangiletoys.com and they are $59,500... But dropping a small block chevy in one of those would be a lot cheaper than the 482 SO I have planned for the Kirkham.

Mr. Bruce and Wayne could answer this...what does it take to make one steet legal, especially in California? That was one thing that caused me not to get one, I didn't feel like I could ever get it registered for the street.

If GM ever really followed through with some of these ideas and projects and didn't cave to the insurance companies back in '63 a lot of racing history would probably have been different.
