I don't care how fast they might be, that is got to be one of the Fugliest cars I have ever laid eyes on. Our family's 76 vega we had when I was a kid was a better looking car than this. I have never even been near one but hear they were even more of a handful to drive than a cobra at speed.

I would love to have one, just not exactly sure what to use it for. I don't race, and it seems pretty worthless as any type of street car. Maybe if I lived somewhere without a cold snowy Winter, I could drive it around.
At least with the Cobra, it is a blast to drive int he Summer. Heck, I haven't even pulled it out the last 2 years.

Mr. Bruce,
I was at the Coronado Festival of Speed a few weeks ago and took these for ya. How's this for additional inspiration. Good luck on the exploration and venture.

I always loved the looks of the cheetah. And the Cro-Sal convertible looks awesome as well. A bigger market for these excotic cats might be in europe.

I remember watching the driver climb in and out of the car,it all added to the mistique of this little weapon.Always tried to imagine what this car would be capable of with all billet drivetrain sbc say in the 427/440 ci range with SB2 topend.No matter I have the car I have always wanted parked in my shop.Still these little hot rods are COOL as all getout!!!!!!!

I just saw the company listed on Ebay again, and someone has placed a bid at $100K. Who knows, maybe someone will keep the ball rolling.

When I was a kid in the late 60's, if you had the Cheetah slot-car you were king of the track! As far as it's looks in full size? I'd take the worst Cobra over the best Cheetah. Just my opinion. (They do sound awesome though, right?!?)

I wonder what's in the included inventory. When I was there taking a tour, there was an original chassis sitting on blocks they were using for reference. Also a couple of finished/unfinished cars.

Apparently that last $100K bidder didn't pan out. Or maybe the new owner is trying to flip the property for nothing. In any event, it's on Ebay again for $100K.

"I have the facilities in place to build the cars, but, NOBODY ,would invest in a phone call, let alone, $10k."
Mr. Bruce, I have the same experience for 3 different cars. ROI of one year. $10.000 profit per unit. Nobody is interested. I even had dealer orders in Europe confirming the demand for finished cars.
Basic investments are not appealing, yet are the mainstay of the industry.
People prefer renewable projects where profit margins and volume are big (are they?).
Sorry for the ramble...
