Gentlemen,

It's time to finally put the mystery to rest. I had a lot of fun yesterday crawling under and all over this thing. Conclusion: This is a seriously nice car that needs a few things to make it darn near perfect.

What it has:
  • The body is 100% aluminum - all of it. The paint is in excellent condition.
  • The frame is a Contemporary chassis that was modified to add round subframe tubes necessary to support the aluminum body.
  • It has a Jag rear end with 2.72 ratio and upgraded substantially as partially seen in photos here.
  • Aldan, fully adjustable coilovers
  • Wilwood front brakes
  • Magnesium Halibrand wheels with aluminum spinners
  • Tires a brand new and there is an extra set of perfectly good Goodyear Eagle racing tires that come with the car.
  • The trunk tub and cockpit tub (including foot boxes) are fiberglass.
  • The trunk was once carpeted but the carpet was removed after being slightly damaged by corrosion from the trunk-mounted battery.
  • The motor is an ALUMINUM 427 side oiler. Internal components and specifics are yet to be determined. Runs great.
  • Sidewinder intake manifold
  • Aluminum medium riser heads
  • Aluminum (finned with COBRA lettering) "T" shaped oil pan
  • Shatter proof bell housing - looks like a Lakewood
  • Richmond 4+1 transmission
  • Smiths gauges
  • Lucas ammeter
  • Leather seats, dash and door map pockets

What it needs:
  • Aluminum inner fender panels up front
  • Aluminum panels around the oil cooler and radiator
  • The correct puke tank
  • The FE expansion tank
  • The correct remote oil filter bracket
  • An aluminum turkey pan around the Holley carburetor
  • Carpet in the trunk
  • A speedo cable and correct speedo drive gear for the transmission
  • Quick jacks fitted and installed front and rear
