Gents,

Thanks for your feedback. The body is absolutely an aluminum body and the magnesium Halibrands are the real deal. I crawled all over it and confirmed the way the aluminum skin attaches to the sub frame tubes, etc. The trunk is a really bad fiberglass tub that just doesn't make sense with the rest of the car's attention to important/expensive details. Another weird thing is that there are no inner front fenders!? Hard to imagine an aluminum bodied car missing these details.

The vin plate looks like absolute garbage and really has me head scratching. The late owner's wife told me she found a file on the car so I'll get documentation later this week. I also networked and found a former co-owner of the Monster Motorsports outfit in Escondido, CA (the one that modified the Miatas and some kind of Italian SUV here in CA) who I'll be talking with soon to try and get the story. The widow stated that her husband was a well-to-do contractor who took the car in trade for work done to set up Monster's shop. That might explain why the build seems to have stopped short.

Once I know more details and have a better list of components, I'll post the details and see what you all think is a reasonable price to ask for it.

Thanks again.
