No offense to either of you gents but both of those cars are a pale shadow of the Cheetahs we are going to see. I'll take some pictures and gallery them so you will see what I mean...
So Mikey , we are going on Saturday then? It should be pretty empty as that is a hot auction day.
Friday would be better so we can go to the Pavillions on Saturday.

Its a 90 inch wheelbase and the front suspension consisted 1962 Cheavy HD spindles using tubular control arms connected to the chassis with Heim joints and special Monroe coil over shocks. Rear suspension was a modified Corvette IRS (using a special aluminum Posi unit) located using trailing arms., same shocks and drum brakes all around. Another unique point to the Cheetah was that it did not use a driveshaft. The engine (Chevy 327 FI) was mounted so far back the differental bolted right to the tranny with one universal joint. 27 cars were built in total, two aluminum and the rest in 'glass, before the factory burned to the ground and ended production.

Having not seen one of their cars in person, I can't speak to the quality. Someone please take pictures! If this is a true reproduction of the Cheetah, that's great news. But I have been hearing about these guys for about 2 years and there hasn't been a single car photographed that I am aware of.
Also, I don't know if Bill Thomas has truly authorized these cars. I know he was a very private man and had put the Cheetah behind him a long time ago. If he has put his blessing on it, wow! Kudos to whomever did that.

Shell Valley makes a Cheetah Replica. I have seen them. Looks like a nice, fun car. With a hot SBC in, it would fly!
