Cheetah tribute roadster kit for sale
 
Hello everyone, I've been driving my Cheetah inspired build for a couple of years. It drives and handles very well. It's a lot of fun. Since I have molds and jigs I've been building a few kits. I've sold some from exposure on a couple of car forms. I just finished putting a kit together.

My car uses C4 Corvette suspension/steering, and SBC or LS engines

-Body/frame kit is $8999. includes aluminum skins that seal the frame

-Body/frame with used C4 suspension/steering/brakes/diff, and MGB windshield. New radiator, fuel tank, steering shafts with support bearings and quick release steering wheel hub is $11,999

The body is in red gel coat. The seams have been taken care of. The body can be buffed out for a pretty good finish. Can be used with out paint. Or, if painted the prep work that's been done will lower the cost considerably.

Note that the car is sitting high. The tire gaps are great when ride height is set at 5 inches. Also the roll bar is pieced together so I could set the width. It will come with a full width, 1 piece roll bar

Having fun, John. bigbellybanks@gmail.com

Hi John,
Wow, that's a lot of work and it looks great. The Cheetah has always been my second favorite car of that era, beautiful swooping body lines, lots of power, zero practicality...perfect!!

I am sure with a more up to date suspension yours will handle much better than the original too.

Honestly, if I was not building my 289 roadster I would be ordering your kit! Given the amount of work involved I think its a very far price.

I wish you good luck with this endeavor, and who knows perhaps when I am done building the 289 roadster I might need something else to build. You just never know......

Leave her standing tall and change the tires. Just an idea?

Don't knock the C4 suspension. I loved mine.
