Definitely an early Arntz replica.

Would it be an Arntz whole kit or just the body and somebody made their own frame and suspension, I only ask , because there is a lot of custom fabed suspension parts on this one?

I have some paperwork on an Arntz.
MGB crossmember with unequal length a-arms. etc

Other notes say Arntz (see Butler), Butler (Goleta, CA) sold to GS Motorsports

Email me for copies if you like.

Thanks
Some parts of this car looks the same and others don't. This front end has the MGB crossmember, with the lower A-arms but custom fabed upper A-arms, with GM style shocks inside the coil springs. Here is pics of the frontend after I installed new bushings, shocks, and calipers.

I think by looking at the pics it was probably at least a body/chassis kit from Arntz. Both the body and frame look like Arntz production pieces.

The upper a arms are the “Guldstrand Mod”. Raises a arm 3/4”. Very cool parts.
