Cheetah on E-Bay

[jdean]

IMHO it is ok for established members to mention the Cheetah or even the Gran Sport or other interesting cars with a storied past now and then on here. Most of us are secure enough about our cars and the Cobra position in history. Now some newbie scammer opportunist is another deal altogether.

I would love to see a what a built-out Cheetah would do at something like Run-n-Gun for instance.

How does the Cheetah manage to be so much lighter than a Cobra?

[mr bruce]

Run+Gun, maybe next year, I'm a one man company, no time/funds this year. Why so lite? chromoly frame, Corvette suspension is lighter , LS Chevy engine package only weighs 390 lbs.Like Johnny Mac says, you want a test drive, catch me at BeaveRun

I have a friend (retired coworker) who has one of the original Cheetah's. Fully documented, history, etc. It needs to be restored, but it is a real original! He's owned it since the early 70's. Bought it for cheap back then, I'm sure some people did the same with original Cobra's, then set on them until they're worth big $$$'s. Whether you like them or not, it is a piece of history, and only 20-something were made before the factory burned. I appreciate all rare cars, regardless of brand, just happen to like some more than others.
