What about a knock-off vintage (50's) Indy car with Offy power?  Limited use and only one seat, but uber cool!

Is it too much to ask for where the engine will reside in relation to the driver/passenger? |

A car in the same vein as Plymouth Prowler? Gosh, I hope not.

When you see the car, Plymouth Prowler will not come to mind. |

Phew!
How about something along the lines of a Lotus Elise, Exige or even a 7? Tesla anyone? |

Maybe it's not a replica of any existing design. Might be a brand new, Kirkham designed roadster with classic proportions, state of the art suspension and decent weatherproofing - windows, soft top and the option of an alloy hard top, removable of course...
And then again, it might be an XK-E. They already have the front ends...

for all the deuce lovers out there, there are currently many options. But they all need a stainless steel frame and maybe some stainless steel floor panels and aluminum body for the costs they're charging. For the time and money invested in some of the 32's I've seen, it's a crying shame they're probably going to rust out faster than the originals.
maybe something electric in a lightweight aluminum structure.
whatever it is, it needs to be able to be easily licensed and registered. that problem is just getting worse all across the country and around the world.

Good point. I just had ugly flashbacks of the Countach with those ramming guards for bumpers that were installed on all U.S. deliveries.  |

RodKnock,
That is exactly what I was thinking. I mean damn, they really have this wrapped up. Impressive.

Anyone have contacts at N.O.R.A.D.? Perhaps we can borrow COMSAT-4 and take some high resolution pictures? I know a couple ex-Navy Seals that are always looking for a challenge, too.  |

Can't be electric if it needs to meet Tom's earlier criteria.
Then again, maybe Tesla needs a competitor?
Then again, here in car rich So Cal you don't see Teslas (at all). |

That was going to be my guess. I should have noticed this thread earlier...
Hmm, that looks like it would need to be mid-engined. Perhaps using some pieces from the recent Ford GT and an all new Kirkham billet chassis?

There are several Teslas in my neighborhood and the Tesla dealership isn't very far from me either. Awesome cars.
