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.

Here's the thread from the last sale in 2012 and on page 3 is the build website link.

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.

Doesn't sit right, rear end is too high

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.
