Buying a High Tech

[Car Lover]

Hi All; I'm new to your forum,but I also have a Hi Tech car. Car born in 1993
with vintage 427 s/o. I Have a call in to Tom DiAntonio on an unrelated issue
so I'll ask about the solid axle issue,but back then you could get what was re
ferred to in their literature as a builders package. What this was,you could
buy the body/frame package for X dollars and as finances permitted you could
buy the suspension package then the interior pack etc. So i think this was
probably a owner install on the solid axle. Tom was to much of an make it as
close to original as money will allow kind of guy. I have all of their literature
and video and no where do they mention a solid axle. the most repeated item
is there quest for authenticity. Mine was the last Tom made before going to
Shelby and the company was called High Tech Replica and it was also a Co-
bra restoration facility also. When mine was built it was as a complete roller
with a fibreglass body ,aluminum interior,aluminum rear bulkhead,doors,hood&
trunk, trunk interior,twin 240A stewart warner fuel pumps,42 gallon fuel tank
by Mike McClusky,Halibrand Magnesium wheels, and too much other stuff to list. All for the price of $42,330 and at the time i thought i was nuts.
